The UI does not refer to enclosure type,

 

 

but the enclosure type is used by the

 

 

appliance when you add an enclosure.

 

 

The enclosures REST resource

 

 

includes an enclosureType attribute.

 

 

 

2.9 Enclosures

An enclosure is a physical structure that contains server blades, the Onboard Administrator, and interconnects.

For information about the supported enclosure models, see the HP OneView Support Matrix.

The enclosure provides the hardware connections between the interconnect downlinks and the installed server blades.

The enclosure interconnects provide the physical uplinks to the data center networks.

When you add an enclosure, the appliance discovers and adds all of the components within the enclosure, including any installed server blades and any installed interconnects.

Relationship to other resources

An enclosure resource is associated with the following resources in the resource summary diagram (page 29):

Exactly one enclosure group

Zero or more physical interconnects

One logical interconnect and one logical interconnect group (through the enclosure’s association with enclosure groups and interconnects)

Zero or one rack resource

Zero or more power delivery devices
