Power and Environmental Management

Black Box console servers manage embedded software that you can use to manage connected Power Distribution

Systems (PDUs), IPMI devices, and Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs) supplied by a number of vendors, and some

environmental monitoring devices.

The console server Management Console monitors and controls Remote Power Control (RPC) devices using the

embedded PowerMan and Network UPS Tools open source management tools and the Black Box power management

software. RPCs include power distribution units (PDUs) and IPMI power devices.

You can control serial PDUs invariably using their command line console, so you could manage the PDU through the

console server using a remote Telnet client. Also, you could use proprietary software tools supplied by the vendor. This

generally runs on a remote Windows PC, and you could configure the console server serial port to operate with a serial

COM port redirector in the PC (as detailed in Chapter 4).

Similarly, you can control network-attached PDUs with a browser (for example, with SDT as detailed in Chapter 6.3), an

SNMP management package, or using the vendor-supplied control software. Servers and network-attached appliances

with embedded IPMI service processors or BMCs invariably have their own management tools (like SoL) that provide

secure management when connected with SDT Connector.

For simplicity, you can now control all these devices through one window using the Management Console’s RPC remote

power control tools.

8.1.1 RPC connection

Serial and network connected RPCs must first be connected to, and configured to communicate with, the console server:

 For serial RPCs, connect the PDU to the selected serial port on the console server. From the Serial and

Network: Serial Port menu, configure the Common Settings of that port with the

RS-232 properties etc required by the PDU (refer to Chapter 4.1.1 Common Settings). Then select RPC as the

Device Type.

 For each network-connected RPC, go to Serial & Network: Network Hosts menu and configure the RPC as a

connected Host by specifying it as Device Type: RPC and clicking Apply (refer to Section 4.4, Network Hosts).
