Power Manager - Configure Peripheral Power Units/SPDU

Automatics users can configure SPDU details in Device Manager to leverage its remote device power management support in Automatics test scripts. If SPDU has REST APIs to manage power operations, then those details can be configured in Device Manager. In addition to this, user has to make below configurations too.

• In Automatics Properties, please add property peripheral.powerProvider=true for test scripts to use SPDU rest endpoints for power operations.
• In partner implementation project, please add <bean id="powerProvider" class="com.automatics.providers.rack.impl.DefaultPowerProviderImpl" lazy-init="true" scope = "prototype"/> and comment out if any other PowerProvider implementation is included in partner-applicationContext.xml and deploy the 

In Device Manager, user configure SPDU details in 3 steps.

• Configure SPDU details via Manage Power Devices
• Add the power operations supported by SPDU
• Map the devices/DUTs against SPDU slots

Once above configurations are done, user is good to use SPDUs for power management from test scripts.
