2.2.1 Creating a Management File


2.2.1 Creating a Management File
A management file for configuring remote power management is created in CSV format for each remote power management group. You can create a management file at a storage location accessible by a URL with http, https, ftp, or file scheme.
The management file script format is as follows.
1,1,0x01,8a041209b35947899e7bfa5d578dbd3f,0x01,0x00,default,,10.24.0.0,0x10,xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,,,,,,,,,,"4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12"
1,2,0x00,8a041209b35947899e7bfa5d578dbd40,0x03,0x00,default,,10.24.0.0,0x10,xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,,,,,,,,,,
1,3,0x10,8a041209b35947899e7bfa5d578dbd41,0x03,0x00,default,,10.24.0.0,0x10,xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,,,,,,,,,,

GroupID, NodeID, NodeType, NodeIdentName, Linkage, Operation, User, Password, IP0-0, Slave0-0, MAC0-0, IP0-1, Slave0-1, MAC0-1, IP1-0, Slave1-0, MAC1-0, IP1-1, Slave1-1, MAC1-1, and SubNode are specified on each line in the order shown.

The following table describes the setting items in detail.
Table 2-1  Setting Items of a Management File
Item Description
GroupID Group ID of a remote power management group
Specify an integer value (decimal) from 1 to 32. All group IDs in one management file must be the same.
NodeID Node ID of an interlocking device for power supply
Specify an integer value (decimal) from 1 to 128. Each node ID in one management file must be unique.
NodeType Node type of an interlocking device for power supply
Specify any of the following values:
0x00: Host node, 0x01: Mater host node, 0x10: I/O node
0x20: Remote power distribution unit
NodeIdentName Identifier of an interlocking device for power supply
Specify the system GUID or a unique arbitrary character string.
For the system GUID, specify a string of 32 consecutive digits as shown in the example. The value is handled as a hexadecimal number in a case-insensitive fashion.
For the arbitrary character string, specify a hexadecimal number with up to 32 digits.
Linkage Value (hexadecimal) representing power-on interlocking
Specify any of the following values:
0x00: Disable, 0x01: Enable (On), 0x02: Enable (Off),
0x03: Enable (On + Off)
Operation Value representing the power-on method
Specify either of the following values:
0x00: IPMI, 0x01: WakeOnLAN
User IPMI user name
Specify nothing, and leave this field blank. If the field is not blank, the operation cannot be guaranteed.
Password IPMI password
Specify nothing, and leave this field blank.
IP Address
(IP0-0/IP0-1/IP1-0/IP1-1)		 IP address of the IPMI port of a controller
Specify an IPv4 address value with a character string.
SlaveAddress
(Slave0-0/Slave0-1/Slave1-0/Slave1-1)		 Value (hexadecimal) representing the IPMI slave address of a controller
Specify "0x20".
MAC Address
(MAC0-0/MAC0-1/MAC1-0/MAC1-1)		 MAC address of the IPMI port of a controller
Specify a MAC address value with a character string.
Example: b0:99:28:98:18:2e
Even though the host node does not support power-on using Wake on LAN, you need to set a value. In this case, you can specify a dummy value as shown below.
Example: 00:00:00:00:00:00
SubNodeID Character string representing the ID of the controlled subnode
The field is a value from 0 to 31 or is left blank.
Delimit the target subnode IDs (in decimal) with a comma (,), and enclose all of them in double quotation marks (").
A blank field indicates control of the whole node.
