2.6 Server hardware

Server hardware represents an instance of server hardware, such as a physical HP ProLiant BL460c
Gen8 Server Blade installed in an enclosure, or a physical HP ProLiant DL380p rack server.

For information about the supported server hardware, see the HP OneView Support Matrix.

Relationship to other resources

A server hardware resource is associated with the following resources in the

resource summary

diagram (page 29)

:

Zero or one

server profile

. If a server does not have a server profile assigned, you cannot

perform actions that require the server profile resource, such as managing firmware or
connecting to data center networks. However, you can:

Add the server hardware to the appliance, including automatically updating the server
firmware to the minimum version required for management by the appliance.

View inventory data.

Power on or power off the server.

Launch the iLO remote console.

Monitor power, cooling, and utilization.

Monitor health and alerts.

If the server hardware is a server blade, exactly one device bay of an

enclosure

. This

association also applies to full-height server blades, which occupy two device bays but are
associated with the top bay only.

If the server hardware is a rack mount server, zero or one

rack

resource and zero or more

power delivery devices

.

If the appliance discovers an instance of supported server hardware for which it does not
have a matching

server hardware type

, the appliance creates a server hardware type for that

server hardware configuration.
