Adding managed enclosures
To add one or multiple managed enclosures, click Add Managed Enclosure in the Actions pane, or click
the Add icon. The Add Managed Enclosure wizard appears. The enclosure Onboard Administrator must
be configured with login and SNMP settings prior to using the Add Managed Enclosure wizard. The
primary and secondary (optional) IP addresses of the Onboard Administrator and the login information
are needed to complete the wizard. The wizard validates the information with the Onboard Administrator
before adding the new enclosure. The wizard also ensures that the Onboard Administrator meets the
minimum supported firmware version. Follow the directions on the screen until the new enclosure is added
to the monitor service.
The Enclosure Monitoring Service starts monitoring the enclosures immediately after the wizard completes.
However, the newly added enclosure(s) will not be available in the System Center Essentials Console until
it completed the next discovery cycle.
Removing managed enclosures
To remove one or multiple managed enclosures from the monitor service, click Remove managed
enclosure from the Actions pane of the Monitor Manager, or click the Remove icon. The Remove
managed enclosure wizard appears. Follow the instructions on the screen until the enclosure has been
removed from the monitor service. The changes will be reflected after the next discovery cycle.
The Enclosure Monitoring Service stops monitoring the removed enclosure(s) immediately after the wizard
completes. However, the System Center Essentials Console continues to display the removed enclosure(s)
and subsystems until these elements are removed after the next discovery cycle.
Updating enclosure login
To update an enclosure's login information, click Update enclosure login from the Actions pane or click
the Update icon. The Update enclosure login wizard appears. Follow the instructions on the screen until
the login information is updated.
The Enclosure Monitoring Service starts immediately after the wizard completes, and uses the updated
information. However, any changes to the System Center Essentials Console are not applied until after the
next discovery cycle.
