Power Management with AlterPath™ PM Integration
CLI Method - IPDU Configuration
The CLI allows you to set some ports to the
pm
protocol. Configuring a port with the
pm
protocol means that you have an IPDU connected to it. Then you will have to configure
power management parameters in other ports that are not configured as protocol
pm
.
Example:
To show how power management works in the CLI, we will approach a
practical example.
Suppose that we have a 4-port ACS unit and an IPDU, with eight outlets, connected to
serial port 1 of the ACS.
To manage the IPDU we will have to configure port 1 as
pm
protocol and then associate
which ports (anyone, but port 1) of the ACS unit will be allowed to issue power
management commands to port 1.
Step 1 - Open the CLI interface by issuing the command.
# CLI
Step 2 - Enable the serial port that the IPDU is connected to. For example,
serial port 1 is being configured for IPDU.
cli>config physicalports 1 enable yes
Step 3 - Configure the serial port that the IPDU is connected to. For example,
serial port 1 is being configured for IPDU.
cli>config physicalports 1 general protocol pm
You can specify from what type of session (SSH, Telnet or both) users will be
allowed to connect to the IPDU.
cli>config physicalports 1 general pmsessions ssh
The command above restricted the access to the IPDU port, only for users that
connect to the AlterPath ACS via SSH. Valid values for the
pmsessions
parameter
are:
ssh
,
telnet
,
ssh_telnet
and
none
.
Step 4 - Configure from which ports of the ACS, commands to the configured
IPDU port will be allowed to be issued.
We will allow users connected to serial port 2, to run power management
commands to the IPDU connected to the serial port1 of the ACS.
cli>config physicalports 2 powermanagement
powermanagement>enable addoutlet pm 1 outlets 1,2
