Connectivity and synchronization with the appliance

The appliance monitors the connectivity status of iPDUs. If the appliance loses connectivity with an iPDU, an alert displays until connectivity is restored. The appliance will try to resolve connectivity issues and clear the alert automatically, but if it cannot, you must resolve the issue and manually refresh the iPDU to bring it in synchronization with the appliance.

The appliance also monitors iPDU to remain synchronized with changes to hardware and power connections. However, some changes to devices made outside of the control of the appliance (from iLO or the OA, for example) may cause them to become out of synchronization with the appliance. You may have to manually refresh devices that lose synchronization with the appliance.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you do not use iLO to make changes to a device. Making changes to a device from its iLO could cause it to lose synchronization with the appliance.

You can manually refresh the connection between the appliance and an iPDU from the Power Delivery Devices screen.

You can use the Power Delivery Devices screen to view and configure the power delivery devices, configure their power connections, and view power consumption for the last 5 minutes or 24 hours for iPDUs. You can also manage the locator light and outlet power-on devices that support them from this screen.
