HPE Synergy frames are managed using the HPE Composer 2, which runs an embedded instance of HPE OneView tailored for Synergy infrastructure. This means that while HPE OneView is used to manage both ProLiant servers and Synergy frames, the Synergy frames require management through the Composer's embedded OneView instance, not the external OneView appliance used for ProLiant servers.

To add a rack system to HPE OneView, you can define it manually using the HPE OneView interface.
This involves creating a new rack resource and specifying its properties, such as name, size, and location.
Manually adding racks allows you to organize and visualize your physical infrastructure within HPE OneView, even if the rack contains devices not managed by OneView.
* Option D (Correct): Racks can be manually added via the HPE OneView user interface.
* Option A: No special license is required to add racks.
* Option B: Racks are not automatically discovered; only devices within the racks may be auto- discovered.
* Option C: Rack definitions are not limited to HPE Synergy components.

Licenses were not purchased in the original order for the modules and were ordered separately.

To visualize the rack system and the Aruba top-of-rack switches in HPE OneView, the customer should define the switches as unmanaged devices manually. By adding the Aruba switches as unmanaged devices, they become part of the rack layout within HPE OneView, allowing for a comprehensive visual representation of the physical infrastructure.
* Option A (Correct): Manually adding switches as unmanaged devices includes them in rack visualizations.
* Option B: HPE OneView does not automatically discover and add third-party switches via hardware discovery.
* Option C: Unless specifically supported, Aruba switches cannot be added as managed devices.
* Option D: Monitored devices require SNMP support and integration, which may not be available for these switches.
