I am writing a program that uses the OME Rest API (version 1.01) to get the current device PowerState, and schedule a PowerState control job based upon the current PowerState.  I am finding that if the PowerState was last changed using the iDRAC console, that OME does not have the correct current PowerState. As a result, the job will fail if it tries to Power On a device that is already Powered On.

If I refresh status from the OME gui, the PowerState is now correct.  Is there a way to use the API to refresh status for a specific device?  I can then do this in code before getting current device PowerState so that I know its accurate before scheduling the PowerState control job.  Alternatively, is there a way to increase the frequency in which device status is automatically refreshed?
