Associating Outlets with Target Servers

The Port page opens when you click on a port on the Port Configuration
page. From this page, you can make power associations, change the
port name to something more descriptive, and update target server
settings if you are using the D2CIM-VUSB CIM. The (CIM) Type and the
(Port) Name fields are prepopulated; note that the CIM type cannot be
changed.

A server can have up to four power plugs and you can associate a
different rack PDU (power strip) with each. From this page, you can
define those associations so that you can power on, power off, and
power cycle the server from the Port Access page.

To use this feature, you will need:



Raritan remote rack PDU(s)



Power CIMs (D2CIM-PWR)

To make power associations (associate rack PDU outlets to

KVM 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. On the Port Configuration page, select the target server you are

associating the PDU with.

2. Choose the rack PDU from the Power Strip Name drop-down list.

3. For that rack PDU, choose the outlet from the Outlet Name

drop-down list.

4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all desired power associations.

5. Click OK. A confirmation message is displayed.

To change the port name:

1. Type something descriptive in the Name field. For example, the

name of the target server would be a likely candidate. The name can
be up to 32 alphanumeric characters and can include special
characters.

2. Click OK.
