DCImanager supports management of the following types of equipment:
- servers;
- switches;
- power distributors (PDU);
- uninterruptible power supplies (UPS);
- IPMI;
- Intel AMT.
DCImanager uses special modules called handlers to manage the equipment. The article contains information about available handlers and their compatibility with specific models of equipment.
Note
Handlers described below may operate incorrectly with particular devices. The platform has been tested on equipment from the Tested on devices column. This hardware is suitable for connecting to the platform, but some of the device's functions may not be supported.
Servers
The platform does not use special handlers to manage servers. DCImanager has been tested on servers with the following motherboards:
