If these conditions are not met, only the blade chassis is added and the blades are not available.
If more licenses are needed, you can first acquire the additional licenses and then click Resync
to add the blades under the blade chassis.
Or, if an individual blade contains a supported service processor, you can add it to the
MergePoint SP manager separately. In this case, the blade operates as an independent SP, not a
subset of the blade chassis SP.

Managed and Unmanaged SP Lists (Admin users only)

If you enabled automatic management (see Automatically Manage SPs on page 34) or manually
added an SP, then the service processors are displayed in the Managed SP list. Otherwise,
discovery results are displayed in the Unmanaged SP list. You may add a service processor to
the Managed SP list at any time, provided there is a free license. When you manage an SP, you
can require verification of a specified username and password when a user connects to the
device.
If the managed SP is part of a group or groups, it is displayed in the side navigation bar as part
of the group folder(s).
NOTE: Users that do not have Administrator access will only see devices to which they have access.
For most SPs, you can view the type of SPs from the SP Profile column in the
Managed/Unmanaged SP list. In a few cases, the SP profiles cannot be recognized until the SPs
are managed and verified. See the following table for details.
