- Why am I being required to log in more than once by Power Center?
- Why can’t I access the Power Center management console from a Web browser, even though the Power Center server is running normally?
- Why was I automatically logged out of Power Center?
- Why did my connection to iDRAC6 devices (PowerEdge Servers) fail, when the network connection status is Connected?
- Why can’t Power Center receive events sent from devices?
- Why are previously-existing power policies (including EPR) still effective on devices when Power Center is corrupted or has been uninstalled?
- Why do I see the PostgreSQL error log "FATAL: terminating connection due to administrator command" in the Windows event log?
- Why I can’t open power center login page when I access it through Firefox 31?
- Why I encounter an error, “An internal error occurred. Contact the technical support for help: subordinate error code: 0x8f0c1301”, the Home page when OpenManage Power Center server is installed on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2?
- Why do I encounter a network exception while adding a LDAP user?
- Why do I encounter a network exception while adding a chassis to a group?
- In the compare report, why is the average power value of a device different when the service is stopped for a few hours?
- Why is the “policy return to normal” event not displayed when the only device in the Chassis Management Controller (CMC) is deleted?
- After discovering the devices, incorrect device information is displayed? Why is this happening?
- I am not able to view the power headroom graph on the home screen. How do I troubleshoot?
- I am not able to manage the servers discovered by OMPC through the Redfish protocol. Events are also not logged. How do I troubleshoot and resolve the issue?
- I discovered a server through the Redfish protocol. When I tried to manage the server, the events are not logged in the event list. What do I do now?

nd_device
Usage:
ompc_cli find_device [-service_tag <stag>] [<device_name>]
The find_device command is used to list all groups' name (fully qualied) the device identied by service tag or device_name belongs
to.
service_tag command option is supported.
remove_prole
Usage:
ompc_cli remove_profile <profile-name>
The remove_prole command removes a discovery prole.
delete_device
Usage:
ompc_cli delete_device [-service_tag <stag>] [<device_name>]
The delete_device command deletes a device. You cannot use –service_tag and device_name at the same time.
If the device is a chassis, it is deleted like a group (if the blades in it are already enumerated). The chassis itself is also deleted from OMPC,
and is no longer visible on the Devices page.
add_group
Usage:
ompc_cli add_group [-description <description>] -group_type <DC|ROOM|AISLE|RACK|CUSTOM > [-
capacity <capacity>] [-total_power_capacity <power_capacity>] GROUP_PATH
The add_group command adds a new group identied by GROUP_PATH. If the type is RACK, you must supply the <capacity> option.
Forward slash (/) cannot be used as GROUP_PATH in the add_group command.
The chassis can be added to any group at any time. You can only add Chassis Management Console (CMC) to one rack; not multiple racks.
When you add CMC to any group, the blades inside it can be enumerated.
delete_group
Usage:
ompc_cli delete_group [-preview] GROUP_PATH
