IPDU Configuration and Management

Power management utility

The power management utility may be used to manage power on servers plugged into one or more
outlets on an IPDU appliance. The power management utility may be invoked by one of the
following commands:
• pmMenu - You are presented with a menu driven interface to select the desired command.
• pmCommand - You may enter commands at the pmCommand prompt using the appropriate
command arguments.

IPDU identification

When configuring and assigning names to IPDU appliances, it is important to consider the
following information:
• An IPDU appliance should have a unique name, referred to as an IPDU ID.
• If the IPDU ID is not defined or is duplicated, the ACS console server assigns a default name
to an IPDU appliance.
• Once the IPDU ID is saved, the ACS console server identifies the IPDU appliance regardless
of the serial port it is connected to, or its position in the cluster.
To rename or assign a name to an IPDU:
1. From the command prompt, execute the pmCommand.
