Resynchronizing units
When a unit changes its configuration, it may not be properly represented in the Rack Power
Manager software system. For example, a target device may be added, removed or moved.
Resynchronizing will update these and other changes made to the unit within the Rack Power
Manager software system.
Resynchronizing will force a check of the entire Rack Power Manager software system. The
process requires a large amount of time and network bandwidth and should only be performed
when necessary.
Alternatively, you may use the automatic topology synchronization feature or synchronize
selected units manually from a Units View window. See Topology Synchronization on page
129.
To resynchronize a unit:
1. In the Unit Overview window, click the Resync icon or link. The Resync Unit Wizard will
appear.
2. The Select Resync Options window will open. (For more information about the resync
options, see Topology synchronization options in the Resync Wizard on page 130.)
a. Enable the Remove offline connections checkbox to remove from the Rack Power
Manager software database any connections to target devices that are reported as
offline in the appliance. The Resync Wizard does not add offline connections to the
Rack Power Manager software database.
