Configuring and Enabling Tiering
The tiering feature allows you to access KX III targets and PDUs through
one base KX III device.
Devices can be added and removed from a tiering configuration as
needed up to a maximum of two tiered levels.
When setting up the devices, you will use specific CIMS for specific
configurations.
See Tiering - Target Types, Supported CIMS and Tiering Configurations
for a description of the targets that can be included in a tiered
configuration, CIM compatibility and device configuration information.
Port configuration, including changing the CIM name, must be done
directly from each device. It cannot be done from the base device for
tiered target ports.
Tiering also supports the use of KVM switches to switch between servers.
See
Configuring KVM Switches (on page 87).
Once configured, base and tiered devices are displayed on the Port
Access Page. See
Tiered Devices - Port Access Page (on page 17)
Before Creating a Tiering Configuration
Before creating a tiering configuration, review Permitted KX III Tiering
Configurations (on page 124) and Unsupported and Limited Features
on Tiered Targets.
Before adding tiered devices to a KX III tiering configuration:

Base and tiered devices must all be operating with the same
firmware revision.

Enable base devices on the Device Settings page. See Configuring
Standard Target Servers

Enable tiered devices on the Local Port Settings page. See
Configuring KX III Local Port Settings (on page 117), then Enable
Local Port Device Tiering (on page 117)

Enable tiering for the base device, and the tiered devices. See
Enabling Tiering (on page 126)
