Task: Pull names from selected units
Automatic name pull (see Automatic name pull on page 126) is not supported on some
managed appliances. To keep these appliances synchronized with the Rack Power Manager
software, you may instead schedule the pull names task.
NOTE: For more information about LANDesk Server Manager integration, see the Rack Power Manager
Software Plug-in for LANDesk Server Manager online help.
This task may be used to pull names from a managed appliance and update the Rack Power
Manager software database. This task performs the same operations as the Pull Names from
Appliance option in the Operations menu (see Name Synchronization on page 125).
