8.3 Method:
Dell_OEMPowerConfigurationService.ConfigureExternalPowerDomains( )
Dell_OEMPowerConfigurationService.ConfigureExternalPowerDomains( ) method provides an interface
for a client application to specify which external power domains are supplying power to certain power
supplies in the managed system. This method is called to configure the managed system configuration for
the external power domain redundancy in the case where the underlying instrumentation is unable to
detect the external grid redundancy, and instead depends on the client input for its configuration.
Dell_OEMPowerConfigurationService.CreateExternalPowerDomain(
) return values shall be as specified
in Table 6.
Dell_OEMPowerConfigurationService.CreateExternalPowerDomain(
) parameters are specified in Table
7.
No standard messages are defined for this method.
