Data Center Power Control Rule Users must be authorized for Monitor Tools.
When you do not have proper user authorization for Data Center Power Control and simulate or execute a
rule, the following message may be displayed:
An error occurred while running the rule. Please make sure the user is
authorized for DCPC tool in HP SIM.
Suggested action: To avoid this error, you must have authorization for Monitor Tools for each possible
target of a rule. The administrator (with authorization to configure Central Management Server security) must
establish this through Options→Security→Users and Authorizations.
Rules take longer to start when invoked or simulated against a large number
of systems
When a Data Center Power Control rule is invoked or simulated against a large number of systems (hundreds
or thousands), it can take several minutes for the rule preview page to appear or the rule simulation to start
running. During this delay, the browser will show a progress indicator. If the browser session that invoked
the rule or simulated rule is closed, or navigated away from the progress indicator page, the rule or simulated
rule will not proceed.
During this rule start-up delay period, if any browser session attempts to enter Data Center Power Control
pages, those browser sessions will also show a progress indicator until the preview processing is complete.
This is true even if the original browser session is closed or navigated away from the progress indicator
page.
If many user sessions are active on the CMS at the same time, the rule start-up delay period can be
proportionally longer.
