px2_configure(1p)

NAME
px2_configure - deploy and configure Raritan PX2/PX3 power distribution units

SYNOPSIS
px2_configure COMMAND [ARGUMENTS]

DESCRIPTION
PX2 deployment and configuration utility.

COMMANDS

configure LIST IPS
    Configure some or all devices (network settings, unit name and SNMP settings).

    The behavior of this command is different depending on whether concrete IP addresses or the 'all' keyword is specified:

    •   If IP addresses are specified the program will contact each device, read its serial number and search for a matching entry in the device list. It will then change the device's network settings to the values from the device list. The initial IP addresses do not have to match the values from the device list, they might as well be dynamically assigned by a DHCP server.

    •   If the 'all' keyword is specified the IP addresses are taken from the device list. The devices' network settings are expected to be properly configured at this point, so the network configuration part will be skipped.

verify LIST IPS
    Verify device settings and SNMP access.

identify LIST IPS
    Identify some or all devices (show a distinctive string for two seconds in each unit's display).

reboot LIST IPS
    Reboot some or all devices.

fetch_fitness LIST OUTFILE IPS
    Fetch fitness data from some or all devices and write them to a file in CSV format.

update LIST IMAGE IPS
    Device firmware update. The firmware image will be sequentially uploaded to each device, then all devices will be instructed to perform the firmware update in parallel.

print_timezones IP
    Print list of supported timezones with its IDs.

set_timezone LIST TZID IPS
    Set the timezone of all devices.

ARGUMENTS

LIST
    Device list in CSV format.

IPS Device IP addresses; use 'all' to run on all IPs in the CSV file.

IP  Device IP address.

OUTFILE
    Output file name.

IMAGE
    Firmware image file.

TZID
    Timezone ID as printed by the "print_timezones" command.

EXAMPLES

px2_configure configure devices.csv 192.168.2.3
    Connect to the device at 192.168.2.3, read its serial number and look it up in the device list file named devices.csv. Configure the device's network, PDU name and SNMP settings.

px2_configure verify devices.csv all
    Verify the network settings, PDU name and SNMP access for all devices in the list file.

px2_configure update devices.csv pdu-px2-020106-26030.bin all
    Update all devices to firmware version 2.1.6.

DEVICE LIST FORMAT
The device list file contains a list of PX2 devices in CSV format. It could e.g. be exported from an inventory spreadsheet. Each device line contains four or five fields, separated by commas:

1. Unit serial number (exactly 10 characters)
2. PDU name
3. IP address with prefix length (e.g. 192.168.99.1/24)
4. Gateway IP address
5. Optional comment; the line is ignored if "ignore" is included here

Lines with less than four fields are silently ignored. Likewise, lines that do not contain a valid serial number are disregarded.

REQUIREMENTS
The following Perl modules are required to run this script:

•   Raritan PX2 RPC bindings (distributed along with this script)

•   libwww-perl <https://metacpan.org/release/libwww-perl>

•   LWP::Protocol::https <https://metacpan.org/release/LWP-Protocol-https>

•   JSON <https://metacpan.org/release/JSON>

•   JSON-RPC-Common <https://metacpan.org/release/JSON-RPC-Common>

•   perl-Error <https://metacpan.org/release/Error>

•   Test-Simple <https://metacpan.org/release/Test-Simple>

Additionally, the verify command uses the snmpget utility to verify SNMP access.
