Why cannot I apply Emergency Power Reduction (EPR) on
target device or a group?
Scenario:
When you are trying to apply EPR on a device, the EPR operation may fail and there is an entry in the Audit Logs.
When you are trying to apply EPR option on a group, the EPR operation may fail with the following error message: Unable to
enable the Emergency Power Reduction feature because target devices are unavailable in the
group.
