IPI Appliance
The IPI Appliance provides an intelligent gateway to gather information about power, thermals, security,
alerts, and all components in the physical infrastructure of each cabinet.
Vision Intelligent Operations uses SNMP to poll the status of the IPI Appliance and then passes the
results to VMware vCenter.
For cabinet-related operations such as adding users or cabinet access cards, refer to the
VCE Intelligent
Physical Infrastructure Appliance User Manual
.
Refer to the management release certification matrix (RCM) to identify the recommended firmware
version for your IPI Appliance. Contact Support with any questions.
