31 Static Power and Temperature-Triggered Policies with OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager
Will the power cap applied by virtue of a physical group be removed from the member device, when
the device is removed from a physical group monitored in Power Manager?
Description:
Power Cap applied by virtue of a physical group is removed automatically by Power Manager when the
device is removed from a physical group with active static power policy. Corresponding audit log entries are
available in Monitor > Audit Logs as follows:
Message ID—CPWR0021, Severity—Info, Category—Configuration
Message—The Power Cap feature is disabled on the target <Device Name>.
Note: This case is applicable when few devices are removed from a physical group and the configured power
cap value is still effective on other devices present in the group.
What happens to the power policy applied on a static or physical group, when all devices are removed
from a monitored group with active policy?
Description:
After removing all the devices from a static or physical group having an active power policy, the policy is also
removed automatically from Power Management > Policies tab. The power cap values are also
automatically removed from the devices that were part of the group.
Note: Behavior remains the same even if all the devices are removed from a static or physical group with
Temperature-Triggered policy in inactive state.
What happens to the Temperature-Triggered EPR applied on a static or physical group, when all
devices are removed from a monitored group with active Temperature-Triggered policy?
Description:
After removing all the devices from a monitored group, the Temperature-Triggered policy and EPR applied
on a static or physical group are removed automatically (in Power Management > Policies and Power
Management > Emergency Power Reduction tabs). The EPR Throttle applied by virtue of Temperature-
Triggered policy is also automatically removed from the devices that were part of the group.
What happens to the policy applied on an Individual Device or static group, when the entity is deleted
from OpenManage Enterprise?
Description:
The configured power cap values are maintained in the device, when a Power Manager monitored device or
static group is deleted from OpenManage Enterprise. The power or Temperature-Triggered policies linked to
a deleted entity is automatically removed from Power Management > Policies tab.
Resolution:
To disable the Power Policy on target device(s), go to the iDRAC, CMC or MSM console of the target device
and remove the configured Power Cap value.
