The first is to

have

scripts to support

e particular RPC

included in

the open source

PowerM

project

(

http://sourceforge.net/projects/powerman

)

The

PowerMan

device specifications ar

unusual

and it is

suggest

that you leave the

actual

writing of these scripts to the PowerMan

uthors. Ho

wever

documentation on

how they work

can be found at

ttp://linux.die.net/man/5/powerman.dev

Once the new RPC support has been built into the

PowerMan

will

include the updated

PowerM

build in a

subsequent firmware release

The second path is

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.xm

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/powers

trips.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

wget

to transfer files.

Here is a brief description of the elements of the XML entries

/etc/config/powerstrips.xml

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

<outlet port="port

1">Display Port 1 in menu</outlet>

<outlet port="port

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>

<charsize>character size</charsize>

<parity>parity setting</p

arity>

</powerstrip>

The

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

power control board

may control several different outlets

The port

id is

e native name for identifying the outlet
