NAME

RackMan::Device::PDU::APC_RackPDU - Role for APC Rack PDUs

DESCRIPTION

This module is the role for APC Rack PDUs.

It works by fetching the configuration from the corresponding PDU (obviously, you need a network access to it) and updating it with the values from the RackTables database. The resulting configuration file can then be compared with the original or pushed back to the device.

PUBLIC METHODS

write_config

Arguments:

1. options (hashref)

diff_config

Fetch the PDU configuration from the device twice, modify one according to the database, compute and print the differences between the two.

The exit status of the program is set to 1 if there are differences, 0 otherwise.

Arguments:

1. options (hashref)

push_config

Push the configuration from disk (where write_config wrote it) to the PDU device.
