Hardware and software requirements for devices
● Managed servers must have Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) 6, 7, 8, or 9.
NOTE: You can use OMPC on iDRAC6 for monitoring the devices; however power capping feature is not supported.
● Power Distribution Unit (PDU) and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) devices must comply with the Management
Information Base (MIB) the vendor provides through SNMP interface.
● Devices must provide exclusive access for Power Center because the policies set on the devices from other management
software affect the Power Center power control function.
● The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) user, through which Power Center communicates with devices, must be a
local user account whose roles include Administrator. The device must be configured to allow the Administrator to use at
least one of the cipher suite levels 0–3, and enable the IPMI over LAN setting.
● The WSman user, through which Power Center communicates with the chassis, must be a local user with the Administrator
role. The chassis must be configured to enable the Web Server service.
NOTE: For a list of Dell OpenManage Power Center-supported devices, see Supported and unsupported device.
