5 Overall Best Practices for OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager
1 Introduction
Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager is an extension to Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise
(OME) console and uses fine-grained instrumentation to provide increased visibility over power consumption,
anomalies, and utilization. Also, Power Manager alerts and reports on power and thermal events with servers,
chassis, and groups consisting of servers and chassis. This enables increased control, faster response time,
greater accuracy, and broader decision-making intelligence.
The power consumed in data centers are of such high magnitude that it is critical to monitor this consumption.
There is a scope for managing this consumption effectively without compromising on the efficiency of the
workload. Power Manager helps with identifying the areas where power can be conserved by using historical
power consumption information of all the devices and groups that are monitored. Once such areas are
identified, use static power policies to conserve power on these devices or groups.
This whitepaper provides details on using the various features of OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager to
efficiently manage a data center.
