MANAGEMENT
Introduction
The console server has a small number of Manage reports and tools that are available to both
Administrators and Users:
Access and control authorized devices.
View serial port logs and host logs for those devices.
Use SDT Connector or the Web terminal to access serially attached consoles.
Control power devices (where authorized).
All other Management Console menu items are available to Administrators only.
13.1 Device Management
To display the Managed Devices and their associated serial, network, and power connections:
Select Manage: Devices. The Administrator will be presented with a list of all configured
Managed Devices, whereas the User will only see the Managed Devices they (or their Group) has
been given access privileges for.
Select Serial Network or Power for a view of the specific connections. The user can then take a
range of actions using these serial, network or power connections by selecting the Action icon
or the related Manage menu item. (For example, selecting the Manager Power icon [or Manage:
Power from the menu] would enable the user to power Off/On/Cycle any power outlet on any
PDU the user has been given access privileges to [refer to Chapter 8 for details]).
