Licensing behavior in
Power Manager for devices:
- If the OpenManage Enterprise Advanced license on the target devices is expired or deleted, the devices are removed from Power Manager. You must re-add the devices to Power Manager after adding the license.
- If EPR is enabled on a device, and the device is removed from Power Manager due to an expired or deleted license, then you cannot access the device through Power Manager. To disable EPR, go to the iDRAC or CMC page of the device and remove the EPR.
- If policy and alert thresholds are set on a device, and the device is removed from Power Manager due to an expired or deleted license, then the policy and alert thresholds are removed from the device.
- For a group, only the devices that have a valid license are added as part of the group into Power Manager. Metrics are collected only for these devices in the group.
- If the OpenManage Enterprise Advanced license is expired or deleted from the target devices that are part of a group, the devices are removed from Power Manager. After updating the license, these devices are automatically added to Power Manager in the next inventory cycle.
- If EPR is enabled on a group, and if the license is expired or deleted for any device in a group, the device is not removed from Power Manager.
- If EPR is enabled on a group, you cannot remove the group or any device that is part of the group from Power Manager.
