Answer
To physically connect multiple KX III
appliances together for consolidated local
access, you can connect the Tiering ports of
multiple "tiered" (or "cascaded") KX III switches
to a "base" KX III using the Tiering port of the
KX III. You can then access the servers
connected to your KX III appliances from a
single point in the data center via a
consolidated port list.
The Tiering port must be used to connect the
tiered KX III switch to the base switch.
Access via the consolidated port list is
available in the data center or even from a
remote PC. All servers connected to the tiered
KX IIIs can be accessed via a hierarchical port
list or via search (with wildcards).
Two levels of tiering are supported; up to 1024
appliances can be accessed in a tiered
configuration. Remote power control is also
supported.
Virtual media, smart card and blade server
access via tiered access will be supported in a
future release. Of course these features are
available when accessed via a standard
remote connection.
While remote IP server access via the
consolidated port list is available as a
convenience, remote accessing a tiered server
from CommandCenter or via the KX III the
server is connected to, is recommended for
optimal performance.
