I am using DCE to read 2 PDUs power data installed in same rack. Each PDU is connected to different power source from wall PDU for redundancy. DCE is using SNMP to read from master PDU which has a serial link to slave PDU for data collection. Please advise me how to map the current sensors reading for master PDU to A path PDU in DCO and current sensor reading for slave PDU which is also under the same DCE deviceID to the B path PDU in DCO.

Hi Jimmy!
You can try to associate your device with wall PDU in DCO and then perform power sensor mapping to breakers.
Power data from breakers should be transfered downstream and displayed on the tooltip when you hover it on rPDU.

My question is how to map sensors within the the same DCE device to 2 different PDU in DCO. Since rack power PDU only have one IP address for both the master and slave PDU, DCE can only see it as one device.

Hi Valentin,
Your suggestion works perfectly if device sensor map to 1 PDU. In my case, device sensors included have reading for power source A and B. We need to map sensors for A path to A panel and B sensors to B to maintain power hierarchy in DCO. Can anyone have other suggestion?

Hi Jimmy, I think it is not possible. I had the same problem and I did not find any workaround. For DCE is a good solution, because you use less licenses and less switches to connect the PDUs, but you have this problem in DCO.
