Physical Groups
A physical group is a group of groups/devices with a structure mapping that
represents the actual physical layout.
As an IT/facility administrator, you may need to organize devices and groups
according to their physical layout in the data center. Power Center enables
you to monitor power/temperature information, manage policies/events at
individual device, chassis, rack, aisle, room or data center levels.
Data Center Physical Group
Power Center manages physical groups with the following group structure:
Data Center →
Room →
Aisle
→
Rack
→
Chassis
.
You must create physical
groups in this order.
PDU, UPS and unsupported devices can be attached at any level of the
physical group structure. You can find the PDU and UPS devices information
at the bottom of the group’s page.
You can manually create physical groups, then add devices into the groups
through the management console.
