Assigning a Name to the PX
The Port page opens when you select a port on the Port Configuration
page. The port appears on this page when connected to a Raritan
remote rack PDU (power strip). The Type and the Name fields are
prepopulated.
Use this page to name the rack PDU and its outlets; all names can be up
to 32 alphanumeric characters and can include special characters.
Note: When a rack PDU is associated to a target server (port), the outlet
name is replaced by the target server name (even if you assigned
another name to the outlet).
Note: CommandCenter Service Gateway does not recognize rack PDU
names containing spaces.
To name the rack PDU (and outlets):
1. Change the Name of the rack PDU to something you will remember.
2. Change the (Outlet) Name, if desired. (Outlet names default to Outlet
#.)
3. Click OK.
Associating KVM and Serial Target Servers to Outlets (Port Page)
A server can have up to four power plugs and you can associate a
different rack PDU (power strip) with each. From the Port page, you can
define those associations so that you can power on, power off, and
power cycle the server.
The KVM and serial Port pages are different from each other with the
exception of the Name and Port Association sections. Since the Power
Association sections are the same, the steps below apply to both KVM
and serial target servers.
To make power associations (associate rack PDU outlets to
target servers):
Note: When a rack PDU is associated to a target server (port), the outlet
name is replaced by the target server name (even if you assigned
another name to the outlet).
1. Choose the rack PDU from the Power Strip Name drop-down list.
2. For that rack PDU, choose the outlet from the Outlet Name
drop-down list.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all desired power associations.
4. Click OK. A confirmation message is displayed.
