Server Properties

Table 6.1 lists the Rack Power Manager server properties.

Table 6.1: Server Properties

Property Description

Identity Name of the Rack Power Manager server and the server’s role (hub or spoke).

Network

IP address (*) and port used by clients to access the server using the HTTPS (SSL) protocol.

You may change the port number used for the HTTPS connection.

NOTE: When the Rack Power Manager server is running on a Linux system, the IP

address field may contain the loopback address. If this is not desired, edit the /etc/hosts file

on the Linux system. Add a new line above the line that defines the loopback address. The

new line should contain the IP address, followed by the host name. For example, the fol-

lowing new line adds the IP address 172.30.20.206 for the host name sun-jcv-fc3.a-

vocent.com, above the existing line that defines the loopback address (127.0.0.1).

- 172.30.20.206 sun-jcv-fc3.avocent.com

- 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain sun-jcv-fc3.avocent.com localhost sun-jcv-fc3
