The first is to have scripts to support the particular RPC included in the open source PowerMan project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/powerman). The PowerMan device specifications are unusual and it is suggested that you leave the actual writing of these scripts to the PowerMan authors. However documentation on how they work can be found at http://linux.die.net/man/5/powerman.dev. Once the new RPC support has been built into the PowerMan, we will include the updated PowerMan build in a subsequent firmware release.

The second path is to directly add support for the new RPC devices (or to customize the existing RPC device support) on your particular Console Server. The Manage: Power page uses information contained in /etc/powerstrips.xml to configure and control devices attached to a serial port. The configuration also looks for (and loads) /etc/config/powerstrips.xml if it exists.

The user can add their own support for more devices by putting definitions for them into /etc/config/powerstrips.xml. This file can be created on a host system and copied to the Management Console device using scp. Alternatively, login to the Management Console and use ftp or wget to transfer files.

Here is a brief description of the elements of the XML entries in /etc/config/powerstrips.xml.

<powerstrip>

<id>Name or ID of the device support</id>

<outlet port="port-id-1">Display Port 1 in menu</outlet>

<outlet port="port-id-2">Display Port 2 in menu</outlet>

...

<on>script to turn power on</on>

<off>script to power off</off>

<cycle>script to cycle power</cycle>

<status>script to write power status to /var/run/power-status</status>

<speed>baud rate</speed>

<charsize>character size</charsize>

<stop>stop bits</stop>

<parity>parity setting</parity>

</powerstrip>

The id appears on the web page in the list of available devices types to configure.

The outlets describe targets that the scripts can control. For example, a power control board may control several different outlets. The port-id is the native name for identifying the outlet.
