# Add a c7000 enclosure

Adding an enclosure brings the enclosure, server hardware, and interconnects under management.

For c7000, you add an enclosure by providing its IP address or host name, along with the OA credentials.

For more information about enclosures, see About enclosures .

## Add a c7000 enclosure to manage its contents

| NOTE: The name associated with the enclosure is the enclosure name set in the OA, and is not the name of the OA.

Prerequisites

- Required privileges: Infrastructure administrator or Server administrator.

- See Prerequisites for bringing a c7000 enclosure into HPE OneView for prerequisites and preparation that must be in place before you add an enclosure.

- If you have Virtual Connect Fibre Channel interconnects, see Update the firmware for HPE Virtual Connect interconnects configured for Fibre Channel networks before adding the enclosure.

Adding a c7000 enclosure to manage its contents

1. From the main menu, select Enclosures and do one of the following:

   - Click + Add enclosure in the master pane.

   - Select Actions→Add.

2. Select Add enclosure for management.

3. Enter the data requested on the screen. See Add c7000 enclosure.

4. Choose Add or Add +. See Button functions.

   If you have more enclosures to add, you can add the next enclosure immediately; you do not have to wait for the last Add Enclosure action to complete before starting the next.

   You must supply a new IP address or host name for each enclosure, but the Onboard Administrator Name and Password credentials are retained on the screen as a convenience if you use the same credentials for multiple enclosures.

5. Verify that the enclosure has been added by confirming the enclosure is listed in the master pane.
