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.

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.

Once configured, base and tiered devices are displayed on the Port Access Page. See Tiered Devices - Port Access Page
