Adding groups to Power Manager

To collect and monitor data of custom static groups, add the groups into Power Manager.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
  • Static groups are created in OpenManage Enterprise. For information about creating groups, see OpenManage Enterprise User's Guide.
  • The servers that are part of the group must have OpenManage Enterprise Advanced license. For information about adding the license, see OpenManage Enterprise User's Guide.
  • All the modular servers that are part of the group are not in Proxied state in OpenManage Enterprise.
  • Maximum numbers of devices part of a group are 40.
  • Maximum number of groups that you can add to Power Manager is 200.
  • Maximum level of group nesting is 5.

About this task

NOTE Query groups that are created in OpenManage Enterprise are not supported in Power Manager.
NOTE After adding a group into Power Manager, only the devices compatible with Power Manager are added as part of the group. Hence, the data is collected only for these devices in a group. For example, if there are five devices in a group that you add to Power Manager, and only three devices have valid licenses, only three devices are added as part of the group in Power Manager.

To add groups, perform the following steps:

Steps

  1. Launch OpenManage Enterprise.
  2. In Application Settings, click Console and Extensions.
    The Console and Extensions page is displayed.
  3. In Power Manager section, click More Actions > Settings.
    The Power Manager Settings window is displayed.
  4. On the Groups page, click Add Group(s).
    The Add Groups to Power Manager page is displayed.
  5. On the left pane, select a group from the Static Groups category and click Add Selected.
    The groups added to Power Manager are displayed in Groups page along with the total count of groups added.
    NOTE All the individual devices and devices that are part of the selected group, are added to Power Manager, and are displayed on the All Monitored Devices page along with the total count of devices.

Next steps

First time only: After adding groups to Power Manager, the count of servers present in the group is displayed as zero. Hence, click Refresh the list for Power Manager capabilities after running an inventory in OpenManage Enterprise.
