Configuring Synchronization of Power IQ and CC-SG
CC-SG will synchronize with Power IQ to add the IT Devices configured
in Power IQ to CC-SG as nodes. When synchronizing, CC-SG will create
a node with a PowerIQ Proxy interface for each new IT Device identified.
When CC-SG detects a duplicated node, the synchronization policy you
choose determines whether the nodes are consolidated, renamed, or
rejected.
You can synchronize manually at any time, or set up a task run on a
recurring basis as a task. See
Task Manager
(on page 278).
You can also choose to get all IT Devices from Power IQ, or set up a
filter so that CC-SG only synchronizes the IT Devices allowed by the
filter.
Step 1 - Add a connection to the Power IQ to be synchronized
with CC-SG:
See
Configuring Power IQ Services
(on page 338).
Step 2 - Create a filter (optional) :
Filters are optional. If you do not create a filter, all IT Devices configured
in this Power IQ will be added to CC-SG according to the
synchronization policy. Filters apply only to the Power IQ instance
selected.
