Add Enclosure background task

Caution:

This command is not intended for general customer use and should be used only as directed by My Oracle Support.

The Add Enclosure command lets the PMAC application begin executing a background task to add an enclosure to the PMAC hardware inventory. This configuration also establishes connectivity between PMAC and the Onboard Administrators. PMAC fails the background task if communication cannot be established with an Onboard Administrator.

The Edit Enclosure command, which is used to change or add an OA IP address, also causes the PMAC application to execute the Add Enclosure background task. The Rediscover Enclosure command also causes the PMAC application to execute the Add Enclosure background task.

If an authorized user deletes an in-progress Add Enclosure background task, the background task is cancelled. The deletion of the Add Enclosure background task takes approximately 4 minutes to complete. An error is issued if an attempt to start a new Add Enclosure background task is made during that time.

On the Background Task Monitoring page on the PMAC GUI, the user can monitor the progress of the Add Enclosure background task. The Status field shows the current step being executed.
