The move_device command moves a device from FROM_GROUP_PATH to TO_GROUP_PATH. After
successfully moving the device, the device no longer belongs to FROM_GROUP_PATH; it belongs to
TO_GROUP_PATH.
The slot option is applicable only when moving a device (including a chassis) to a rack. It specifies which
slot the device should be moved into. If it is not provided when moving a device to a rack, the CLI
identifies a slot.
When moving a PDU/UPS from one rack to another rack and the slot is not provided:
• If the PDU/UPS is in a slot of a previous rack, the CLI selects one slot in the new rack.
• If the PDU/UPS is attached in a previous rack, the CLI attaches it in the new rack.
When moving a PDU/UPS from one rack to another rack and you have specified the slot:
• If the PDU/UPS is in a slot of a previous rack, the CLI uses the specified slot in the new rack.
• If the PDU/UPS is attached in a previous rack, the CLI reports an error.
You cannot change the PDU/UPS properties between “slotted” and “attached” in Power Center. You can
change between “slotted” and “attached” by removing the PDU/UPS from the rack, and re-adding it to the
rack.
If the device to be moved is a chassis, the behavior is the same as moving it through the move_group
command.
You cannot use the attributes -service_tag and device_name at the same time.
If the move operation fails, the device stays in the original group. There are exceptions for critical
situations such as power failures, crashes, network failures for the remote database, and local network
failures.
move_group
Usage:
ompc_cli move_group FROM_GROUP_PATH TO_GROUP_PATH
The move_group command moves a group from FROM_GROUP_PATH to TO_GROUP_PATH.
You cannot use the same group path as FROM_GROUP_PATH to TO_GROUP_PATH. Also, you cannot use “/”
as FROM_GROUP_PATH.
After successfully moving a group, the group identified by FROM_GROUP_PATH no longer belongs to the
original parent in
FROM_GROUP_PATH. It belongs to TO_GROUP_PATH.
When moving a chassis to a rack, the CLI chooses one available slot (if a slot is available). If you want to
specify a slot for the chassis in the new rack, you must use the move_device command.
If the move operation fails, the device stays in the original group. There are exceptions for critical
situations such as power failures, crashes, network failures for the remote database, and local network
failures.
