11.2 Scenario 1: Adding the enclosure to an existing enclosure group

The quickest way to add an enclosure to an appliance is to specify an existing enclosure group. When you add an enclosure to an existing enclosure group, the enclosure is configured like the other enclosures in the group, including the network connections.

Prerequisites

•Minimum required privileges: Infrastructure administrator or Server administrator.

•The hardware configuration of the enclosure interconnects must match the configuration expected by the logical interconnect group that is associated with the enclosure group.

•The uplink sets for the logical interconnect group includes connections to the networks you want to access.

•All data center switch ports that connect to the VC (Virtual Connect) interconnect modules are configured as described in “Data center switch port requirements” (page 115).

•The networks and network sets, if any, have been added to the appliance. To add networks or network sets, see “Quick Start: Adding a network to an existing appliance environment” (page 95) or “Managing networks and network resources” (page 115).

•See “Prerequisites for bringing an enclosure under management” (page 131) for prerequisites and preparation you must complete before you add an enclosure.

•See “Prerequisites for bringing server hardware under management” (page 112) for prerequisites and preparation you must complete before you add a server.
