22. A method for configuring a power distribution configuration, comprising:
-
selecting an operator selected configuration;
determining an optimal transition path to transition from a present configuration to said operator selected configuration, wherein determining said optimal transition path comprises using a set of power distribution transition cost rules, and wherein the power distribution transition cost rules comprise;
(a) whether there is an increase in the number of real, unpowered boards, and (b) whether a power source is changed when a switchboard is unpowered, and (c) whether a power source that is in the optimal configuration is removed; and
implementing said optimal transition path to reach said operator selected configuration.
