Then, the new node is created:
• You can see it in the “Autodiscovery” node list.
• You can select it as power source.
• You can edit composite device properties by selecting it in the discovery view then click again on the
“Set composite device” menu item.
• If you select components of a composite device and click on the “Set composite device” menu item
again, properties of existing composite device are shown; no new composite device is created so no
composite device duplication is possible.
• The created “Virtual Power Source” is counted as a node for the licensing node limitation.
