Figure C-17 New power strip dialog
The operator can name the strip (such as reference to a specific rack), enter the
IP address, and select the type using the dialog in figure C-17. At this time VMS
supports the Sentry 3 and 1 model of APC power strips. Vipersat recommends
the Sentry 3. Leave the read and write communities public and private.
It will then be necessary to populate the strip with the primary and backup units.
It is very important in this step to insure the association is made with the correct
port. Populate the strip by dragging the unit from the subnet manager to the strip
port as shown in figure C-18.
