Question Answer
If I use the Local
Console to change the
name of a connect
server, does this change
propagate to remote
access clients as well?
Does it propagate to the
optional CC-SG device? Yes. The Local Console presentation is identical and completely
in sync with remote access clients, as well as Raritan's optional
CC-SG management device. To be clear, if you change the name
of a server via the Dominion KX onscreen display, this updates
all remote clients and external management servers in real-time.
If I use the Dominion
KX's remote
administration tools to
change the name of a
connected server, does
that change propagate to
the Local Console Locale
Console as well? Yes, if you change the name of a server remotely, or via Raritan's
optional CC-SG management device, this update immediately
affects the Dominion KX's onscreen display.
Power Control
Question Answer
What type of power
control capabilities does
the Dominion KX offer? Because the Dominion KX enables you to remotely manage
servers; it also incorporates the critical functionality of hard
power control to servers. Instead of using a third-party tool for
power control (likely with lower security and fail-safe capabilities
as the Dominion KX), you can use the Dominion KX's fully
integrated remote power control.
When remotely connected to an appropriately configured the
Dominion KX, simply select the power control options to hard
reboot a hung server. Note that a hard reboot provides the
physical equivalent of unplugging the server from the AC power
line, and re-inserting the plug.
Does the Dominion KX
support servers with
multiple power
supplies? What if each
power supply is
connected to a different
power strip? Yes. The Dominion KX can be easily configured to support
multiple power supplies connected to multiple power strips. Up
to eight (8) powerstrips can be connected to a KX device. Four
power supplies can be connected per target server to multiple
power strips.
