Cabinet management

The PMAC GUI provides the ability to differentiate and manage hardware at the cabinet level. This assists the system administrator in identifying the target hardware and provides an additional layer of confidence that critical operations are being performed on the correct devices.

From the PMAC GUI the user can view the system inventory at the cabinet level. This includes enclosures and rack mount servers. See Cabinet inventory for additional information on viewing the system inventory.

In addition to the initial provisioning of cabinet information the system administrator has the ability to add and delete cabinets at any time. Note that at least one cabinet must be added before any enclosures can be added. Alternately, a cabinet must be empty of enclosures and rack mount servers before it can be deleted. See Cabinets for additional information related to cabinet provisioning and management.
