DCImanager 6 manages server power via PDU and BMC (Intel AMT). The control order depends on the statuses of server BMC (Intel AMT) and PDU port to which the server is connected. You can configure server power management via PDU, regardless of BMC (Intel AMT) status.

To enable server power management only via PDU, connect to the server from DCImanager 6 via SSH and execute the command:

curl -k -# -d '{"value": "true"}' -H "Cookie: ses6=<session_id>" -H "x-xsrf-token: <session_id>" -H "isp-box-instance: true" -o- "https://domain.com/dci/v3/setting/power_pdu_only"
CODE

domain.com — IP address or domain name of the server with DCImanager 6

<session_id> — session id. Read more in the article API guide

If the command is executed successfully, the JSON object in the following format will be received in response:
