Key Monitoring Scenarios

Applies To: Operations Manager 2007

It is important that you plan carefully for your implementation of the various power monitoring scenarios to avoid conflicting settings. For example, if you enable Power Plan Recovery for the Windows Server 2008 R2 Power Consumption monitor (see the Limit Power Consumption scenario) and override the Set Power Plan for Business Hours rule (see the Manage Power Consumption scenario) to use a different power plan than specified in the recovery task, the power plan of the targeted computer changes each time the monitor or rule runs.

When you create groups for the different monitoring scenarios, be aware that the Power Management Pack cannot monitor a power supply that is connected to multiple power distribution units (PDUs).
