Operation

Device Actions Tab

Device actions can be taken on the device you are configuring and on other managed devices. For example, if a CMC detects an over-temperature condition, a device action can be configured to shut down the UPS load segments to which servers affected by the condition are connected.

Select the Device Actions tab to configure the device actions.

CAUTION: For each device action that you set, you may need to configure the normal, opposite response. For example, if you configure the CMC to turn on a fan when the temperature exceeds normal, you may also want to configure the CMC to turn off the fan when the temperature returns to normal.

1. Click Add New Device Action. The Add/Edit Device Action box appears.
