This is for OpenManage Power Center

anybody?

Cameron, the dashboard shows the current power consumption of a group.  Power Center manges or monitors the power consumption of the servers that are connected to the PDU, not the power consumption of the PDUs themselves.

The threshold is set for control the power consumption of a group.  As mentioned above, Power Center does not manage or monitor the power consumption of the PDU.  However, I do not quite sure to understnad your purpose of  setting the threshold for a group that only contains PDUs.

I want it so I can get circuit threshold warnings when a primary/secondary PDU pair go over an aggregate 80% draw.

I don't use Power Center to control or limit anything. It's only for monitoring and alerting for me.

When I look at an individual PDU in OMPC it shows how much load is on that PDU which is great but then I have to manually add primary PDU load with seconary PDU load and calc if it is still under 80% agg for the circuit. I would like OMPC to do that for me so I get email alerts if the agg draw on a PDU pair is at warning of 75% or critical of 80%

I do this because even though each primary and secondry PDU is on it's own 30A circuit  my servers are connected to both primary and secondary PDUs so if one PDU fails the other PDU needs to handle the entire load and do do withing an 80% threshold.
