Add 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 an OpenManage Enterprise Advanced or Advanced+ license. For information about adding the license, see OpenManage Enterprise User's Guide.
- 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
-
Launch OpenManage Enterprise, and then click
.
The Power Manager Devices tab is displayed.
-
On the
Static Groups tab, click
Add Group(s).
The Add Groups to Power Manager page is displayed.
-
On the left pane, select a group from the
Static Groups category and click
Add Selected.
The groups added to Power Manager are displayed on the 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.
Results
For more information about running an inventory, see OpenManage Enterprise User's Guide.
After adding the devices or groups to Power Manager, if the server is running iDRAC version 4.40.10.0 or above (and is a supported model), Power Manager automatically enables the iDRAC’s Telemetry Streaming configuration and creates a custom Metric Report Definition for collecting data from servers. For list of supported models, see Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager User's Guide.
