That's potentially very useful. The documentation is clear on what to do with a server with one or two power supplies. Could you provide advice on how to configure things where power supplies are attached to multiple servers: * idataplex nodes - one power supply, two servers. * "Twin squared" - 2 power supplies, 4 servers * n1200 chassis - 6 power supplies, 12 servers Even if the advice is "be careful you don't switch the other machines off", it's worth giving. I'm not sure if you want to get into monitoring, but reporting pdu current (or power usage) could also be a potentially useful enhancement - it could help us ensure we were within the current limits for the PDU. It's complicated slightly with the single phase 32A PDUs we use having a top and bottom bank with a 16A limit. You'd also want to consider three phase as well I guess. Chris -- Dr Christopher J.
