When CC-SG detects a duplicated node, the synchronization policy you choose determines whether the nodes are consolidated, renamed, or rejected.
See Configuring Synchronization of Power IQ and CC-SG to set the synchronization policy.
If an IT Device (as determined by the External Key) is retrieved from more that one Power IQ, the node will have a Power IQ Proxy interface for each PowerIQ. CC-SG allows duplicate interface names for a single node.
If an IT Device (as determined by the External Key) is retrieved from more that one Power IQ, a node will be created for each with a single Power IQ Proxy interface. CC-SG will rename the nodes to make them unique by adding a number in parentheses. For example, node
, node(2)
, node(3)
If an IT Device (as determined by the External Key) is retrieved from more than one Power IQ, the first instance will have a node and Power IQ Proxy interface created, subsequent instances will be rejected and logged as errors. This is the default.
When synchronizing, if an IT Device no longer exists, as determined by the External Key, and the node only has a single interface of the type Power IQ Proxy Interface associated with it, the node is deleted from CC-SG.
If the node has other interfaces in addition to the single Power IQ Proxy Interface associated with it, only that Power IQ Proxy interface is deleted from CC-SG.
If a Power IQ instance is deleted from CC-SG, these results will be the same.
