Managed Devices

Managed Devices presents a consolidated view of all the connections to a device that can be accessed and monitored through
the Console Server.
To view the connections to the devices:
• Select Serial&Network: Managed Devices
This will display all the Managed Device with their Description/Notes and lists of all the configured Connections:
• Serial Port # (if serially connected) or
• USB (if USB connected)
• IP Address (if network connected)
• Power PDU/outlet details (if applicable) and any UPS connections
Devices such as servers will commonly have more than one power connections (e.g. dual power supplied) and more than one
network connection (e.g. for BMC/service processor).
All users can view (but not edit) these Managed Device connections by selecting Manage: Devices. The Administrator can edit
and add/delete these Managed Devices and their connections.
To edit an existing device and add a new connection:
• Select Edit on the Serial&Network: Managed Devices and click Add Connection
• Select the connection type for the new connection (Serial, Network Host, UPS or RPC) and then select the specific
connection from the presented list of configured unallocated hosts/ports/outlets
To add a new network connected Managed Device:
• The Administrator adds a new network connected Managed Device using Add Host on the Serial&Network: Network Host
menu. This automatically creates a corresponding new Managed Device (as covered in Section 4.4 - Network Hosts)
• When adding a new network connected RPC or UPS power device, you set up a Network Host, designate it as RPC or
UPS, then go to RPC Connections (or UPS Connections) to configure the relevant connection. Again corresponding
new Managed Device (with the same Name /Description as the RPC/UPS Host) is not created until this connection step is
completed (refer Chapter 8 - Power and Environment)
