Device Discovery 52
• Device types include server, UPS, PDU and chassis.
• Set the connection protocol and credential information so that the device
can communicate with Power Center.
• Add or discover a supported device to the Device List. Perform
management functions including discovery, adding to the group
structure, monitoring power and temperature, applying power
management policies, and sending events.
For unsupported devices:
• Power Center does not communicate with unsupported devices, therefore
connection protocol and credential information is not necessary.
• Unsupported devices cannot be discovered, only added manually to the
Device List.
• Power Center adds the unsupported device to the group structure, but
cannot manage it using the available management functions.
You may need to enter the following power values when adding supported or
unsupported devices:
•
Faceplate Power:
The maximum amount of power that a group/device
can draw; this value should be listed on the power supply specifications.
The faceplate power rating is typically much higher than the actual
power used by the device.
•
De-rated Power:
The default maximum power value; if a power
measurement cannot be completed, this value is used.
NOTE: Faceplate power value is always greater than the de-rated power
value.
Adding a Device from the Network
This section explains how to use the Power Center management console to
discover a device from the network.
Before adding a device from the network, make sure the DNS server is set up
correctly. Specifically, make sure that:
• There is a DNS server running on the Power Center’s network.
• The specified DNS server has a reverse DNS zone for the network on
which you are trying to discover the devices.
