How to manage server power only via PDU?

DCImanager 6 manages server power via PDU and BMC (Intel AMT). The control order depends on the statuses of server BMC (Intel AMT) and PDU port to which the server is connected. You can configure server power management via PDU, regardless of BMC (Intel AMT) status.

To enable server power management only via PDU, connect to the server from DCImanager 6 via SSH and execute the command:

curl -k -# -d '{"value": "true"}' -H "Cookie: ses6=<session_id>" -H "x-xsrf-token: <session_id>" -H "isp-box-instance: true" -o- "https://domain.com/dci/v3/setting/power_pdu_only"
Comments to the command

If the command is executed successfully, the JSON object in the following format will be received in response:

Response in JSON
{
  "power_pdu_only": "true"
}
