• With the IPDU ID assigned to the IPDU
• With the port number to which the IPDU is connected
The IPDU and port number are always followed by one or more outlet numbers in
brackets: [outlets]. Commas between outlet numbers indicate multiple outlets. Hyphens
indicate a range. For example, [1,5-8] specifies outlets 1, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
• IPDU ID - An IPDU ID is automatically assigned to each IPDU when the port to which it
is connected is configured for power management. An administrator can optionally assign a
name to each IPDU. Both automatically assigned and administrator-assigned names are
referred to as IPDU IDs.
• Specify outlets with the IPDU ID in the following format: IPDU_ID[outlets]. For
example, ilA[4,5] specifies outlets 4 and 5 on an IPDU whose ID is ilA.
• When devices are plugged into more than one IPDU, you can separate multiple IPDU
entries with commas in the form IPDU_ID[outlets],IPDU_ID[outlets]. For example,
i1A[1,5],i1B[2] specifies two outlets on IPDU i1A and one outlet on a daisy-chained
IPDU whose IPDU ID is ilB.
• Port number - To specify outlets by the port number to which the IPDU is connected, use
the suffix !ttyS followed by the port number followed by [outlets]. For example, !ttyS2[16]
indicates outlet 16 on an IPDU that is connected to serial port 2.
You can specify outlets in a chain of IPDUs with the port ID two different ways:
• By the outlet sequence. For example, in !ttyS3[2,16], outlet number 2 is the second
outlet on the first IPDU in a chain that is connected to port 3. If the first IPDU has 10
outlets, outlet number 16 would be the sixth outlet on the second IPDU.
• By IPDU sequence, identified with alphabetic characters. The first IPDU is A and the
second is B and so forth. Precede the character with a hyphen. For example, !ttyS3-B[6]
would also refer to the sixth outlet on the second IPDU in the chain connected to port
3.
Configuring power management
Administrators commonly perform power management through the web manager to assign
power management permissions to users, configure IPMI devices and configure ports for power
management.
Configuring ports for power management by authorized users
Administrators of connected devices who have power management permissions can do power
management while connected by using a hotkey that brings up a power management screen.
