37 Emergency Power Reduction (EPR) feature with OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager
What happens to the EPR configured on a device when the OpenManage Enterprise Advanced license
is expired or deleted?
Description:
If EPR is enabled on a group, and the license is expired or deleted for any device which is part of the group,
the device is not removed from Power Manager. EPR remains on the target device. Behavior remains the
same when EPR is applied on an Individual device and the license gets expired on the target device.
Note: When the EPR is disabled from Power Manager, the device gets automatically removed from Power
Manager.
Are there any restrictions on plugin or appliance actions (Disable, Update, Uninstall) when an EPR is
enabled through Power Manager?
Description:
Disable and uninstall of Power Manager is restricted if there is an active EPR (Manual or Temperature-
Triggered) on a monitored device or group. However, Power Manager update is successful even with active
EPR’s.
Message displayed on disabling or uninstalling Power Manager with active EPR
Resolution:
Disable EPR and then retry uninstalling or disabling Power Manager.
Note: With active EPRs applied from Power Manager, OpenManage Enterprise upgrade is successful and the
EPR is maintained in the same state post update.
