Why is Power Manager not listed on Console and plugins
page?
Cause: Power Manager may not be listed due to the following reasons:
● The offline share folder is not accessible.
● Power Manager plugin and tar folder.s are not present in the offline share folder.
● If the plugin catalog file is edited, then the signature files can get corrupted.
Resolution: Ensure that the offline share folder is reachable through OpenManage Enterprise with the following files:
● ome_powermanager_1.0.0.tar.gz
● plugins_catalog
● plugins_catalog.json.asc
Also, download and replace the corrupt plugins_catalog file.
Why am I not able to apply policies on some devices or
groups?
Cause: You can apply a policy only on devices that are supported by Power Manager, having a valid license, and that are added
to Power Manager.
You can apply policies on supported PowerEdge servers with iDRAC Enterprise, PowerEdge FX2, FX2s, and VRTX chassis with
CMC Enterprise license.

metric/power configuration subcategory the SNMP trap forwarding is not supported.
