Import Power Strips from Power IQ

You can import Dominion PX devices and their outlet names from Power IQ. If the Dominion PX devices are already managed by CC-SG, you must delete them first. The import adds the Dominion PX devices, and configures and names the outlets specified in the CSV file.

Non-Dominion PX devices and outlets in the CSV file are ignored during import.

You can use the Power IQ Service to create nodes for Power IQ IT devices attached to Dominion PX devices and other vendors’ power strips that cannot be imported from Power IQ. See Power Control of Power IQ IT Devices.
