+# Powerman PDU Management
+
+Centralized power management for the Cyclades AlterPath PM10i PDU via
+[Powerman](https://github.com/chaos/powerman), running on pfv-tsys1.
+
+## Hardware
+
+| Component | Details |
+|-----------|---------|
+| **PDU** | Cyclades AlterPath PM10i (10 controllable AC outlets) |
+| **Firmware** | v1.9.0 (Aug 4, 2006) |
+| **Connection** | USB-to-DB9 adapter (Prolific pl2303, serial BJAAb144J07) |
+| **Host** | pfv-tsys1 (OptiPlex 9020, Proxmox) |
+| **Serial** | 9600 baud, 8N1, raw mode |
+| **Credentials** | Factory defaults: `admin` / `pm8` (in cyclades-pm10.dev) |
+| **Network access** | powermand listens on `0.0.0.0:10101` |
+
+## Device mapping
+
+```
+USB adapter (067b:23a3, serial BJAAb144J07)
+  └─ pl2303 driver → /dev/ttyUSB1
+       └─ udev symlink → /dev/cyclades-pm10 (stable across reboots)
+            └─ powermand reads/writes serial → Cyclades PM10i
+                 └─ 10 outlets (factory default names: 1-10)
+```
+
+The udev rule (`/etc/udev/rules.d/99-cyclades-pdu.rules`) pins the adapter
+by its USB serial number, so the symlink survives replugs and reboots.
+
+## Scripts
+
+All scripts run on the target host (pfv-tsys1) via `tests/remote.sh`:
+
+```bash
+# Setup (idempotent — safe to re-run):
+PROX_HOST=pfv-tsys1 bash tests/remote.sh prox-file powerman/setup.sh
+
+# Validate PDU control (cycles outlet 10 off → on):
+PROX_HOST=pfv-tsys1 bash tests/remote.sh prox-file powerman/test-pdu.sh
+
+# Status check:
+PROX_HOST=pfv-tsys1 bash tests/remote.sh prox-file powerman/status.sh
+```
+
+### Customizing for other hosts/PDUs
+
+The setup script accepts environment overrides:
+
+```bash
+PDU_SERIAL=XXXX PDU_VENDOR=067b PDU_OUTLETS=20 PDU_TYPE=pm20 \
+  PROX_HOST=other-host bash tests/remote.sh prox-file powerman/setup.sh
+```
+
+## Usage (daily operations)
+
+From pfv-tsys1 (or any host with network access to port 10101):
+
+```bash
+# List all outlets
+powerman -l
+
+# Query status (all outlets)
+powerman -q
+
+# Turn outlet off
+powerman -0 outlet-10
+
+# Turn outlet on
+powerman -1 outlet-10
+
+# Cycle outlet (off → 4s delay → on)
+powerman -c outlet-10
+
+# Query a specific outlet
+powerman -q outlet-10
+```
+
+### Remote access from other hosts
+
+powermand listens on `0.0.0.0:10101`. From another tailnet host:
+
+```bash
+powerman --server-host pfv-tsys1 --server-port 10101 -q
+```
+
+Or set `POWERMAN_SERVER=pfv-tsys1:10101` in the environment.
+
+## Configuration files on pfv-tsys1
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `/etc/udev/rules.d/99-cyclades-pdu.rules` | Stable symlink for USB-DB9 adapter |
+| `/etc/powerman/powerman.conf` | Device definition + 10 outlet nodes |
+| `/etc/powerman/cyclades-pm10.dev` | Cyclades PM10 protocol spec (shipped with powerman) |
+
+## Validation results
+
+2026-07-28: All 8 checks passed.
+Outlet 10 turned OFF (confirmed), turned ON (confirmed), then cycled.
+
+## TODO (Friday onsite)
+
+- [ ] **Rename outlets** in `/etc/powerman/powerman.conf` to match the
+      physical devices plugged into each outlet (e.g., `node "tsys4-psu"
+      "cyclades-pm10" "3"`). Currently all outlets are generically named
+      `outlet-1` through `outlet-10`.
+- [ ] **Change PDU admin password** from factory default (`pm8`) if
+      security-sensitive. Update `/etc/powerman/cyclades-pm10.dev` login
+      script to match.
+- [ ] **Verify all 10 outlets** individually once device mapping is known.
