Port configuration, including changing the CIM name, must be done
directly from each device. It cannot be done from the base device for
tiered target ports.
Tiering also supports the use of KVM switches to switch between servers.
See Configuring KVM Switches (on page 174).
Enabling Tiering
To enable tiering:
1. From the base KX II tier device, select Device Settings > Device
Services to open the Device Service Settings page.
2. Select Enable Tiering as Base.
3. In the Base Secret field, enter the secret shared between the base
and the tiered devices. This secret is required for the tiered devices
to authenticate the base device. Enter the same secret word for the
tiered device. Click OK.
4. Enable the tiered devices. From the tiered device, choose Device
Settings > Local Port Settings.
5. In the Enable Local Ports section of the page, select Enable Local
Port Device Tiering.
