The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Managing OA Accounts
Cisco UCS Director performs auto-discovery of the HP OA account and manages all infrastructure elements in the server that are associated with the HP OA account. For managing servers, you must have two HP OAs in an enclosure: one HP OA in the Active state and the other HP OA in the Standby state.
Note | When you add a standby HP OA account, Cisco UCS Director will not discover all infrastructure elements in the server that are associated with that account, including blade server information, slots, processors, and memory. |
Add the pod to which this HP OA account belongs.
Cisco UCS Director tests the connection to the HP server. If that test is successful, it adds the HP OA account and discovers all infrastructure elements in the server that are associated with that account, including blade server information, slots, processors, and memory. This discovery process and inventory collection takes few minutes to complete.
The polling interval configured on the System Tasks tab on the window specifies the frequency of inventory collection. For more information about configuring the polling interval, see the Cisco UCS Director Network Devices Management Guide.
