Adding static groups to Power Manager

To collect and monitor custom static group data, add the groups in 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 a group must have OpenManage Enterprise Advanced license. For information about adding the license, see OpenManage Enterprise User's Guide.
  • None of the modular servers that are part of the group are not in a Proxied state in OpenManage Enterprise.
  • It is recommended that each group contains less than or equal to 40 devices.
  • The maximum number of groups that you can add to Power Manager is 500.
  • The 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 devices that are 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 a group you have added to Power Manager consists of five devices, but 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. If you are using OpenManage Enterprise version 3.4 or earlier, click Power Management > Monitored Devices and Groups.
    If you are using OpenManage Enterprise version 3.5, click Plugins > Power Management > Monitored Devices and Groups.
    The Monitored Devices and Groups tab is displayed.
  3. On the Static Groups tab, click Add Group(s).
    The Add Groups to Power Manager page is displayed.
  4. 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.

    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 tab along with the total count of devices.

Next steps

If the static groups were created and devices were added to the groups in OpenManage Enterprise before installing Power Manager, and when you add the groups to Power Manager, the total number of servers present in the group is displayed as zero. Click the Refresh the list for Power Manager capabilities option on the Monitored Devices and Groups tab after running an inventory in OpenManage Enterprise.

For more information about running an inventory, see OpenManage Enterprise User's Guide.
