Assigning device types
The ServSelect IP VM appliance automatically discovers attached tiered appliances, but
you must specify the number of ports on the tiered appliance through the Devices window.
Black Box Console Switches and other earlier-model appliances are listed in the Type
category for the tiered appliance. When you select a configurable appliance from the list,
the Modify button becomes available, so you can assign it the correct number of ports.
To access the Devices window, complete the following steps:
1. Press Print Screen to start the OSD interface. The Main window opens.
2. Click Setup > Devices. The Devices window opens.
Figure 4-5. Devices window
When the appliance discovers a tiered appliance, the port numbering changes to
accommodate each target device under that appliance.
For example, if the appliance is connected to target device interface port 6, the appliance
port is listed as 06, and the target devices that are under it are numbered sequentially as
06-01, 06-02, and so on.
To assign a device type, complete the following steps:
1. In the Devices window, select the port number.
2. Click Modify. The Device Modify window opens.
