HP Insight Control Software for Linux - Manual (Page 65)

The following attributes are recognized in specific formats only.
FORMATS TYPE NAME
TAB, text String CircuitName
All but XML String DeviceName
TAB, text String DeviceSubType
TAB, text Unsigned enclEndU
TAB, text Unsigned EndU
TAB, text Unsigned ipmBreakerCapacity
TAB, text Unsigned ipmDeratedBreakerCapacity
TAB, text Unsigned ipmLineVoltage
TAB, text String IPMPoweredBy
TAB, text String ipmPowerIdentifier
TAB, text Unsigned ipmPowerLimit
TAB, text Unsigned ipmPowerOutputs
TAB, text String ipmSide
TAB, text String managedByDevice
Note that the value of "ipmSide" for a circuit is limited to "A" for primary power or "B" for backup power,
usually used for racks that have redundant power. A circuit with no side specified defaults to "A".
Lines beginning with a # sign are treated as comments. The convention for setting any attribute is
attribute:value.
DatacentreID:Lab5
Objects appear in a hierachy, with the container first, and the members below it indented. Everything related
to a device appears on a single line of the text file separated by commas.
RowNumber:1
RackName:southamerica, PositionRow:8, rackHeight:48
DeviceName:peru, StartU:5, HeightU:2
Circuits don't have such a clear hierarchy, but text output tools do group and indent for readability.
CircuitName:PDU1, DeviceSubType:PDU
CircuitName:PAN1, DeviceSubType:Panel, IPMPoweredBy:PDU1
CircuitName:BRK1, DeviceSubType:Breaker, IPMPoweredBy:PAN1
CircuitName:OUT1, DeviceSubType:Power Strip, IPMPoweredBy:BRK1
CircuitName:PAN2, DeviceSubType:Panel, IPMPoweredBy:PDU1
When a device is powered by multiple circuits, list them all, separated by the & (ampersand) delimiter. See
file /opt/ipm/examples/redundant.txt for complete examples.
DeviceName:alaska, IPMPoweredBy:SIDEA_Outlet & SIDEB_Outlet
ALIASES
The attribute names shown above are the official HPSIM attribute names. However, different sites call these
attributes by different names, sometimes in different languages. By using aliases, IPM allows administrators
to express attributes in their own language. In a special /var/opt/ipm/conf/alias.txt file,
administrators expand on the current examples.
# This is a list of alternate keywords that the IPM tools can
# recognize. Format for any pair is
# alias : HPSIM keyword
# Pairs may be delimited by comma, or newline.
# Comments and leading spaces are ignored.
# Below are examples
Data Center Id : DataCentreID
Lab : DataCentreID
Start: StartU, Height:HeightU
# These aliases are transitive. Use the short form once established.
Altura: Start
