Creating a rack

When HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) discovers devices with rack information such as iLO or OA,
enclosures and racks are created. You can edit these racks using the rack view. 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 create new racks and add enclosures to them. 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.
