Tiering - Target Types, Supported CIMS and Tiering Configurations
Blade Chassis
Blade chassis that attached directly to the base are accessible.
Power Control
You can power on and off targets that are a part of the tiered
configuration. These targets are accessed from the Port Access page.
KX II PDU outlets can be accessed and controlled via a tiered
configuration with either the KX II or KXII-832 and KXII-864 models. If
targets and outlets are associated, power control is available from the
Port Access page. Targets and PDU outlet associations are limited to
those attached to the same KX II.
PDUs attached to the base or tiered KX IIs are displayed on the Power
page drop-down along with the statistics for the selected powerstrip.
Outlet level control is available as well. Specifically, you can power off
and power on outlets that are currently on, but you cannot power cycle
outlets that are currently off.
KX II to KX II or KXII-8xx Local Port Configuration - Compatible
CIMS
The following CIMS are compatible when you are configuring a base KX
II to access and control either additional KX II or KXII-832 and KXII-864
models, as well as KX II PDUs and blade chassis.
If you are using a KX II to KX II configuration, the D2CIM-DVUSB must
be used. If you are using a KX II to KXII-8xx configuration, only the
extended local port can be used.
If you are using a configuration that consists of a KX II and KXII-832 or
KXII-864, each device must be running the same firmware. Where blade
chassis are a part of a configuration, each blade chassis counts as one
target port.

The following features are not supported on tiered targets:
Blade chassis on tiered devices
Smartcards on tiered devices
Virtual media tiered devices
MCCAT as a tiered device
Port group management is limited to creating port groups of members
