Tiering - Target Types, Supported CIMS and Tiering Configurations

Blade Chassis

Blade chassis that attached directly to the base are accessible.

Power Control

You can power on and off targets that are a part of the tiered

configuration. These targets are accessed from the Port Access page.

Dominion KX II PDU outlets can be accessed and controlled via a tiered

configuration with either the Dominion KX II or KXII-832 and KXII-864

models. If targets and outlets are associated, power control is available

from the Port Access page. Targets and PDU outlet associations are

limited to those attached to the same Dominion KX II.

PDUs attached to the base or tiered Dominion KX IIs are displayed on

the Power page drop-down along with the statistics for the selected

powerstrip.

Outlet level control is available as well. Specifically, you can power off

and power on outlets that are currently on, but you cannot power cycle

outlets that are currently off.

Dominion KX II to Dominion KX II or KXII-8xx Local Port

Configuration - Compatible CIMS

The following CIMS are compatible when you are configuring a base

Dominion KX II to access and control either additional Dominion KX II or

KXII-832 and KXII-864 models, as well as Dominion KX II PDUs and

blade chassis.

If you are using a Dominion KX II to Dominion KX II configuration, the

D2CIM-DVUSB must be used. If you are using a Dominion KX II to

KXII-8xx configuration, only the extended local port can be used.

If you are using a configuration that consists of a Dominion KX II and

KXII-832 or KXII-864, each device must be running the same firmware.

Where blade chassis are a part of a configuration, each blade chassis

counts as one target port.

Unsupported and Limited Features on Tiered Targets

The following features are not supported on tiered targets:

 Blade chassis on tiered devices

 Smartcards on tiered devices

 Virtual media tiered devices

 MCCAT as a tiered device

Port group management is limited to creating port groups of members

directly attached to the base.
