Appliance configuration templates allow administrators to simultaneously configure multiple units from the DSView 3 software. An appliance configuration template may be used to configure new units or replace existing units. For more information about appliance configuration templates, see the DSView 3 help (keywords: configuration templates). These properties are applied to a PDU when the Appliance Replacement, Apply Configuration Template, Apply Last Know Good Configuration, or Apply Current Configuration operations are executed.
A new “Template” node was created under the Power Management node to create templates for Avocent and Cyclades
® PDUs. When a PDU configuration template is applied, the settings saved under the Template node are applied to all PDUs in the chain.
