Deploy OneView

Jacob34 — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 06:38:14 GMT

We have an HPE Blade System enclosure that includes HPE Integrity BL860c blades along with HPE
Proliant blades.
We plan to deploy HPE One View to manage the enclosure and Proliant servers.
Questions:
"Can One View manage the enclosure when Integrity BL860c blades are installed?"
2. "How are Integrity BL800 servers represented in One view (unmanaged, ignored, or not visible?
3. “Are there any functional limitations or risks Virtual Connect, firmware, enclosure operations)
when Integrity BL860c blades coexist in a One View-managed enclosure?"
Any official guidance from HPE would be appreciated.

Hi @Jacob34

From a practical standpoint, HPE OneView does not support Integrity BL860c blades as managed servers.

You can still bring the BladeSystem enclosure under OneView management if it also contains supported hardware (such as ProLiant blades). OneView will manage the enclosure itself, the Virtual Connect modules, and any supported ProLiant servers without issue.
However, the Integrity BL860c blades will be treated as unsupported. They won’t have server profiles, firmware management, or monitoring through OneView, and in some cases they may not show up beyond a basic presence.
