Viewing server hardware types
From the main menu , select Server Hardware Types.
The Server Hardware Types screen lists server hardware types for each unique server hardware
configuration added to the appliance.
The default name assigned to each server hardware type starts with an abbreviated form of the
server model name and ends with an enumerator. For example, BL460c Gen8 1 is an HP ProLiant
BL460c server with a Flexible LOM and an HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 554FLB Adapter. If you
add an HP ProLiant BL460c server that has a different adapter, the default name for that server
hardware type is:
BL460c Gen8 2
