Removing a blade from OneView Inventory

[awbruso]

We have a C7000 with some blades that we are retiring and so I'm trying to remove them from OneView.  It fails it says that I can't remove it because it's part of a blade system, and that I have to remove the chassis itself.  Am I missing something?  That can't be right.  I want to remove these blades from OneView so that I don't see critical errors because they are powered down.

The only way to remove a BL or SY server from OneView is to physically remove it from the enclosure. What errors are you getting?

Agree. The only way to remove a BL or SY server from OneView is to physically remove it from the enclosure. If you remove SY blade then in Oneview Synergy enclosure is automatically updated whereas if you remove BL you have to refresh the enclosure for it to recognise that there is no blade.

 if you remove BL you have to refresh the enclosure for it to recognise that there is no blade.

That is not correct.  The Onboard Administrator will generate a Device Removed SNMP trap to the list of SNMP receivers configured; one of which should be the HPE OneView appliance.  If you have to refresh the c-Class enclosure resource, it's because the appliance is not receiving that trap.

That probably explains why I had to do a refresh. hmm. Thanks.
