Description

•When you add the enclosure, select Create new enclosure group.

•When you add an enclosure, you also must select a firmware baseline and a licensing option.

•For more information about enclosures, see “Managing enclosures and enclosure groups” (page 131), the online help for the Enclosures screen, or the REST API scripting help for enclosures.

•During the enclosure add operation, the appliance prompts you to enter an enclosure group name.

•During the enclosure add operation, select Create new logical interconnect group. After you click Add, the appliance discovers the interconnects in the enclosure, creates a default logical interconnect group, and opens an edit screen for that logical interconnect group.

•The default logical interconnect group name is the enclosure group name you entered followed by interconnect group. For example, if you specified DirectAttachGroup for the enclosure group name, the default logical interconnect group name is DirectAttachGroup interconnect group.

•You add uplink sets as part of editing the logical interconnect group. Ensure that at least one of the uplink sets you add includes an uplink port to the data center networks you want to access.

•For more information about logical interconnect groups, see “Managing interconnects, logical interconnects, and logical interconnect groups” (page 121), the online help for the Logical Interconnect Groups screen, or the REST API scripting help for logical interconnect groups.

For a server blade to connect to a data center network, it must have a server profile assigned to it, and that server profile must include a connection to either the network or a network set that includes the network:

•If there is an existing server profile that matches how you want the server hardware configured, you can copy that server profile and assign it to the server hardware.

•Otherwise, you must create or copy and modify a server profile that includes at least one connection to the network or a network set that contains the network.

•Server profiles contain much more configuration information than the connections to networks. For more information about server profiles, see “Managing servers and server profiles” (page 111), the online help for the Server Profiles screen, or the REST API scripting help for server profiles.
