DCE linked PDU API bug

When I make the following call:

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:isx="http://www.apc.com/stdws/xsd/ISXCentralSensors-v2" xmlns:isx1="http://www.apc.com/stdws/wsdl/ISXCentralSensors-v2">
B16b483_nbSNMPEnc2F029397

...part of the response includes:

http://www.apc.com/stdws/xsd/ISXCentral/2009/10"> SENSOR B16b483_nbSNMPEnc2F029397_OUTPUT_POWER_TOTAL_2 Device 2 (R29-PDU-B) - Total Real Power B16b483_nbSNMPEnc2F029397 UNKNOWN NONE http://www.apc.com/stdws/xsd/ISXCentral/2009/10"> SENSOR B16b483_nbSNMPEnc2F029397_OUTPUT_POWER_TOTAL_1 Device 1 (R29-PDU-A) - Total Real Power B16b483_nbSNMPEnc2F029397 OUTPUT_POWER_TOTAL_WATTS NONE

Please note that the sensor type for Device 2 (a linked PDU) is “unknown” when it should be “OUTPUT_POWER_TOTAL_WATTS” as well. This is a problem, because if I ask for that sensor type specifically:

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:isx="http://www.apc.com/stdws/xsd/ISXCentralSensors-v2" xmlns:isx1="http://www.apc.com/stdws/wsdl/ISXCentralSensors-v2">
B16b483_nbSNMPEnc2F029397 OUTPUT_POWER_TOTAL_WATTS

...I only get one of the sensors back:

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> http://www.apc.com/stdws/xsd/ISXCentralSensors-v2"> http://www.apc.com/stdws/xsd/ISXCentral/2009/10"> SENSOR B16b483_nbSNMPEnc2F029397_OUTPUT_POWER_TOTAL_1 Device 1 (R29-PDU-A) - Total Real Power B16b483_nbSNMPEnc2F029397 OUTPUT_POWER_TOTAL_WATTS NONE

It looks like any linked PDU's all have an "unknown" value for the sensor type when involving "OUTPUT_POWER".

The support desk told me to post this here for proper eyes from the API dev team.

We are running the latest 7.7.x of DCE VM.

DCE support issued a supplemental sensor context that has thus far resolved this.

I'm told a forthcoming version of DCE will include the fix for this.

Hi Brian,

Most likely the DDF within DCE needs to be updated, or a context file needs to be added.  We can help with that.  Would you mind creating a device support request?  To do that, please go to this page: https://ddf.ecostruxureit.com/, then it will make you search for something before you can see the request button.  You can just link to this community post instead of re-explaining the entire thing. Thank you for the detailed explanation. In addition, we will just need to know which DDF you are using, and perhaps have you send it to us if we don't have a copy.  

Thanks,

Jake

Jake,

How do I determine from within DCE what DDF(s) are being used for the linked RackPDUs?

I've provided screenshots of the list of DDF's we have installed on the request. Please let me know if you need further information.

Hi Brian,

It turns out that because this is a linked RPDU, the API can't differentiate between the multiple devices.  It appears as a single device to DCE.  That is why the second device has an unknown sensor type.
