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.   
 
Unsupported and Limited Features on Tiered Targets 
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 
directly attached to the base.
