Method and system for verifying network device power cabling configuration
First Claim
1. A method for verifying network device power cabling configuration comprising:
- a) reading a map outlining designed cabling information for applying power from a plurality of power sources over a plurality of cables to a plurality of computing resources in a network;
b) performing a power test sequence on each of said plurality of computing resources to verify said cabling information, wherein power is applied continuously to each of said plurality of computing resources when undergoing said power test sequence; and
c) generating a report detailing results from said performing said power test sequence in b).

Abstract
A method and system for verifying network device power cabling configuration. Specifically, in one embodiment, the method begins by reading a map that outlines designed cabling information. The cabling information describes how power from a plurality of power sources is applied over a plurality of cables to a plurality of computing resources in a network. A power test sequence is then performed independently on each of the plurality of computing resources to verify the cabling information. During the test sequence for each of the plurality of computing resources, power is applied continuously. Thereafter, a report is generated that details results from performance of the power test sequence on each of the plurality of computing resources.
