OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager Version 3.5 User’s Guide

About Power Manager

OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager is a plug-in to OpenManage Enterprise. It uses fine-grained instrumentation to provide increased visibility to power consumption, carbon emissions, system anomalies, and resource utilization on servers.

With Power Manager, you can efficiently:

• Monitor devices, static groups, physical groups, system profile, workload profile, virtual machines, and virtual machine groups.
• Receive alerts and generate reports about thermal events in servers, chassis, and custom groups consisting of servers and chassis. This reporting enables increased control, faster response times, greater accuracy, and broader decision-making intelligence than is otherwise possible.
• Monitor device metrics using parallel coordinate visualization.

Power Manager leverages information from the OpenManage Enterprise console to deliver power reporting when used with the following devices and components:

• Devices—PowerEdge servers, non-Dell servers, chassis, Power Distribution Units (PDUs), Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), and Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU).
• Components—Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), Power Supply Unit (PSU), and Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Power Manager communicates with Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC), Chassis Management Controller, PDU, and UPS on managed devices to provide power management data and perform control policies.

With Power Manager, administrators can effortlessly identify areas for efficiency gains and cut wasteful costs.
