Interfaces for Power IQ Proxy Power Control Connections
Add a Power IQ Proxy power control interface when you want to use
CC-SG to control power to a Power IQ IT device that you've added to
CC-SG as a node. This enables you to control power to nodes
connected to PDUs not managed by CC-SG.
To add an interface for Power IQ Proxy power control
connections:
1. Enter the IT device's External Key. The External Key must match
between Power IQ and CC-SG. Maximum of 255 characters.
Commas are not allowed. The default value is the node name. You
can change this value.
If the IT device has already been added to Power IQ, find the
external key on the IT device's page in the Data Center tab, then
enter the text in the External Key field.
If the IT device has not been added to Power IQ yet, accept the
default value for the external key or change it, but make sure to
use the same value when adding the IT device to Power IQ. You
can quickly make a file of all node and interface information by
exporting. See
Export Nodes
(on page 149).
2. Select the Power IQ that manages the IT device in the Managing
Device field. You must add information about this Power IQ to
CC-SG before it appears in this field. See
Configuring Power IQ
Services
(on page 338).
3. Type a description of this interface in the Description field.
4. Click OK to save your changes.
