# About monitored c7000 enclosures

You can add c7000 enclosures to inventory and monitor the hardware. This is useful when you have enclosures that have already been deployed and you cannot migrate them into HPE OneView. Enclosures with G6 and later ProLiant server blades cannot be managed, but can be monitored.

Monitoring hardware in c7000 enclosures can be done with a free license called HPE OneView Standard. For more information, see License types.

| NOTE: If the firmware for any part of the enclosure does not meet the supported minimum, the enclosure will be added in an `Unmanaged` state. To resolve this issue, update the firmware manually (outside of HPE OneView) and then refresh the enclosure.

To add a c7000 enclosure for monitoring, see Add a c7000 enclosure to monitor the hardware.

### Move a c7000 enclosure from monitored to managed

Once an enclosure is monitored in HPE OneView, if you decide to change from `monitored` to `managed`, you must remove the enclosure from HPE OneView and then migrate or add it back as a managed enclosure, obtaining the appropriate license. Migration keeps the configuration settings, whereas add does not migrate the configuration.
