Import Power Strips from Power IQ
You can import Dominion PX devices and their outlet names from Power
IQ. If the Dominion PX devices are already managed by CC-SG, you
must delete them first. The import adds the Dominion PX devices, and
configures and names the outlets specified in the CSV file.
Non-Dominion PX devices and outlets in the CSV file are ignored during
import.
You can use the Power IQ Service to create nodes for Power IQ IT
devices attached to Dominion PX devices and other vendors’ power
strips that cannot be imported from Power IQ. See
Power Control of
Power IQ IT Devices
(on page 337).
