About racks and enclosures
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) discovers and identifies server blade racks and enclosures .
There are two specific search criteria for racks and enclosures:
• Rack
• Enclosure
Running searches using these criteria returns a list of systems contained in the selected racks or enclosures.
Any criterion, except for the two listed previously, return the racks and enclosures themselves, not the systems
in those racks and enclosures. For instance, a system name search for the rack Franklin 1 would return
the system Franklin 1, not any system in Franklin 1.
Two default collections are related to racks and enclosures and are listed under the System Type collection:
• All Racks
• All Enclosures
On the system table view page, racks display in two formats:
• Encl1 in Rack1
• Rack1
The Picture View page can be displayed by clicking a rack hyperlink on the system table view page or
from the System and Event Collections panel.
Clicking an enclosure name in the System Name column on the system table view page produces a list of
all discovered systems in the selected enclosure. The status for both racks and enclosures is always Unknown.
The Picture View page contains a diagram of the discovered systems in the enclosure and, if available, in
the rack. While signed in to HP SIM and placing your cursor over a server shown in the view, you receive
information on that particular server, including server blade name, slot number, and the enclosure in which
the server is located.
