Creating a rackWhen HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) discovers devices, it only displays enclosures. From the picture view of the enclosure, you can add it to a rack. The racks that you created in the previous release are all available under the All Racks option. You can add the enclosure to these previously created racks or you can create new racks and add enclosures to it. After you create these racks, they are listed under the All Racks option. The options All p-class Racks and All e-Class Racks options are no longer available. To create a rack: You can create a rack only from the picture view of an enclosure.
