Metered PDUs kw/h (AP8853)

[Anonymous user]

Hello,

We use Struxureware DCE to generate a monthly report for our operational compliance team for the energy consumption for the ~40 metered PDUs in our environment, and would like to only have the months energy consumption (kw h) displayed (rather then the kw h consumption since the rail was powered on).

Is there a way to reset the Energy consumption, apart from through the device manager tab in the web browser (as it is not feasible to do this for ~40 PDUs).

Cheers, Matt

There is an OID to do this but unfortunately, it cannot be done as a mass SNMP SET via DCE.

The OIDs for these AP8XXX PDUs are all under .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.apc.products.hardware.rPDU2 or .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.26

The OIDs I found for resetting are:

• .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.apc.products.hardware.rPDU2.rPDU2Device.rPDU2DeviceConfigTable.rPDU2DeviceConfigEntry.rPDU2DeviceConfigDevicePeakPowerReset which is .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.26.4.1.1.10 - Setting this OID to reset (2) will cause the existing peak power value to be replaced by the current load power value. Getting this OID will do nothing and return the noOperation(1) value.

• .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.apc.products.hardware.rPDU2.rPDU2Device.rPDU2DeviceConfigTable.rPDU2DeviceConfigEntry.rPDU2DeviceConfigDeviceEnergyResetwhich is .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.26.4.1.1.11 - Setting this OID to reset (2) will cause the device energy meter value to be reset to zero. Getting this OID in models that support this feature will do nothing and return the noOperation(1) value. Models that do not support this feature will respond to this OID with a value of notSupported (3). Attempts to set this OID in these models will fail.

• .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.apc.products.hardware.rPDU2.rPDU2Device.rPDU2DeviceConfigTable.rPDU2DeviceConfigEntry.rPDU2DeviceConfigOutletsEnergyReset which is .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.26.4.1.1.12 - i believe this only for our AP86XX Metered by outlet series though. - Setting this OID to reset (2) will cause the all outlet energy meter values to be reset to zero. Getting this OID will do nothing and return the noOperation(1) value. Models that do not support this feature will respond to this OID with a value of notSupported (3). Attempts to set this OID in these models will fail.

Can you script this to SET each month depending on what value you are resetting?

Angela, you are a rockstar!

I didn't even think about using SNMP to set values. Thanks!
