8.3.2  Power State Management Method 
The power control capabilities are also reported by the PowerStatesSupported property of the 
CIM_PowerManagementCapabilities (PMC) class associated with the CIM_PowerManagementService 
(PMS) class. Getting the instance of PMC is a two step process. First, enumerate the instance of PMS 
with EPR. Second, enumerate the associated PMC class. When there is only one instance of PMC class as 
in the case of iDRAC, the first step may be skipped and the PMC class may be enumerated directly.

EXAMPLE (iDRAC case): 
wsman enumerate http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-
schema/2/CIM_PowerManagementCapabilities 
?__cimnamespace=root/dcim 
-h $IPADDRESS -V -v -c dummy.cert -P 443 
-u $USERNAME -p $PASSWORD 
-j utf-8 -y basic 
OUTPUT: 
When the PowerStatesSupported property contains the value in the “PowerStatesSupported Value” 
column, the PowerChangeCapabilities property shall contain the value specified in the 
“PowerChangeCapabilities Value” column.
