Associating KVM and Serial Target Servers to Outlets (Port Page)

A server can have up to four power plugs and you can associate a different power strip with each. From the Port page, you can define those associations so that you can power on, power off, and power cycle the server.

The KVM and serial Port pages are different from each other with the exception of the Name and Port Association sections. Since the Power Association sections are the same, the steps below apply to both KVM and serial target servers.

To make power associations (associate power strip outlets to target servers):

Note: When a power strip is associated to a target server (port), the outlet name is replaced by the target server name (even if you assigned another name to the outlet).

1. Choose the power strip from the Power Strip Name drop-down list.
2. For that power strip, choose the outlet from the Outlet Name drop-down list.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all desired power associations.
4. Click OK. A confirmation message is displayed.

To remove a power strip association:

1. Select the appropriate power strip from the Power Strip Name drop-down list.
2. For that power strip, select the appropriate outlet from the Outlet Name drop-down list.
3. From the Outlet Name drop-down list, select None.
4. Click OK. The power strip/outlet association is removed and a confirmation message is displayed.
