Chapter 2: About Power Manager

OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager is a plug-in to OpenManage Enterprise. It uses fine-grained instrumentation to provide increased visibility to power consumption, carbon emissions, system anomalies, and resource utilization on servers.

With Power Manager, you can efficiently:

• Monitor devices, static groups, physical groups, system profile, workload profile, virtual machines, and virtual machine groups.
• Receive alerts and generate reports about thermal events in servers, chassis, and custom groups consisting of servers and chassis. This reporting enables increased control, faster response times, greater accuracy, and broader decision-making intelligence than is otherwise possible.
• Monitor device metrics using parallel coordinate visualization.

Power Manager leverages information from the OpenManage Enterprise console to deliver power reporting when used with the following devices and components:

• Devices: PowerEdge servers, non-Dell servers, chassis, Power Distribution Units (PDUs), and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
• Components: Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), Power Supply Unit (PSU), and Central Processing Unit (CPU).

Power Manager communicates with Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC), Chassis Management Controller, PDU, and UPS on managed devices to provide power management data and perform control policies.

With Power Manager, administrators can effortlessly identify areas for efficiency gains and cut wasteful costs.

OpenManage Enterprise and plugins hardware requirements

This section provides recommended hardware requirements for OpenManage Enterprise running with and without plug-ins in small and large deployments. For more specific information about plug-in hardware requirements, see the User's Guide of the respective OpenManage Enterprise plug-in.

Maximum recommended hardware configuration

OpenManage Enterprise 4.3.x appliance is shipped with the maximum recommended hardware requirements to provide you with a hassle-free deployment and installation of the appliance and plug-ins respectively. However, if your environment does not require the maximum hardware configuration, see Manage memory and CPU requirements based on deployment size below to determine the appropriate hardware resources required for your specific requirements. The following table lists recommended hardware requirements for installing OpenManage Enterprise and all its plugins.

Table 3. Appliance default hardware configuration

a. OpenManage Enterprise appliance is configured with two VDs, each with an initial storage space of 415 GB. The primary VD is leveraged for the core application and database while the secondary VD is required for additional features and supporting plugins. However, even without the secondary VDs selected during deployment, the appliance can still boot up for TUI configuration using only the primary VHDX.

Ensure that your hypervisor storage has enough free space to support the recommended virtual disk size of the appliance, and enough overhead to support snapshots and future expansion of the virtual disk.

Ensure that the primary disk and the secondary disk are identical in size always.

Manage memory and CPU requirements based on deployment size

If your environment does not require the maximum hardware configuration, review the following table to determine the appropriate hardware resources required for your specific requirements.

Table 4. Large deployment where the maximum number of devices managed by OpenManage Enterprise is up to 8,000

Table 5. Small deployment where the maximum number of devices managed by OpenManage Enterprise is up to 1,000

Chapter 5: Supported Devices, Features, and Metrics

View the supported devices, components, features, and metrics in Power Manager.

Table 6. List of supported devices, components, features, and metrics

ℹ️ NOTE: Modular servers do not support System Airflow values.

ℹ️ NOTE: The minimum and maximum values that are reported by MX7000 chassis for power and temperature metrics are the lowest and highest values that are ever encountered by the chassis for the respective metrics since the last time these metrics are reset in OpenManage Enterprise Modular. The current values might not reflect the actual value of these metrics at a specified time interval.

If the criteria are met and you still are not able to view Power Manager data, ensure that the Server Power Monitoring feature is enabled on the device you are discovering. To view the discovery log of a device:

1. In OpenManage Enterprise, click Monitor > Jobs.
2. The Jobs page is displayed.
3. Search for the discovery type job for the device and select the job.
4. Click the View Details on the right side of the tab.

Details about the job are displayed. In the Messages: section, check the status for the Server Power Monitoring feature.

ℹ️ NOTE: If the Server Power Monitoring feature is disabled, the device is not compatible with Power Manager.
