add_device

Usage:

ompc_cli add_device [-device_name <device_name>] [-description <description>] [-

size <size>] [-estimated_max_power <estimated_max_power>] –device_type <SERVER

| PDU | UPS | UNSUPPORTED|CHASSIS> [-model <model>] [–profile <profile-name>] [-

protocol <protocol_name>] [<pair of protocol property and value options>]

[host_name or ip]

The add_device command adds a device to OMPC by using the profile name-identified profile or by

using related protocol information directly supplied through the command option. You cannot enter –

profile and –protocol at the same time.

The device_name is optional, and if not provided, OMPC generates a device_name (following the same

rule as in network discovery). For unsupported devices, the default auto-generated device_name is

Unsupported. To ensure unique identifiers, OMPC appends numbers to the device name.

The [host_name or ip] option is required, except when the device_type is Unsupported.

The -model option is valid only when the type is Unsupported.

update_device

Usage:

ompc_cli update_device [-description <description>] [-size <size>] [-

estimated_max_power <estimated_max_power>] [-host_name <host_name>] [-ip <ip>]

[<pair of protocol property and value options>] <device_name >

[<new_device_name>]

The update_device command updates device information identified by its device_name. If

new_device_name is provided, the device_name is also updated to the new_device_name. [<pair

of protocol property and value options>] depends on the protocol supported by this device.

rediscover_device

Usage:

ompc_cli rediscover_device [-service_tag <stag>] [<device_name>]

The rediscover_device command lets OMPC connect with the device and refresh properties that might

be changed on the device side (for example, power capability and device model).

After rediscovery, the Time of Discovery is updated to the time of rediscovery.

For the Chassis Management Controller (CMC), if you try to rediscover the CMC before adding it to the

rack, the blades inside it are not enumerated. If you are rediscovering a CMC after it is added to rack, the

blades are enumerated.

You cannot use -service_tag and device_name at the same time.

If the device is an unsupported device (device_type is Unsupported), the CLI displays the error, “CLI does

not allow rediscover for unsupported devices.”
