Cant add PDU

[denizpählke]

Hi,

I tried to add an Enlogic PDU Enlogic by nVent G3 Metered 3‑phase 22kVA/Outlets (12) C13 (12) Combo C13/C19 PDU for HPE (P67672-B21) to HPE OneView, but I encountered the following error:

I have already enabled REST API access, and using OpenSSL I verified that the web server is using TLS 1.3.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?

This PDU is not supported only the HPE Intelligent PDU Gen1 are supported. Please refer to the HPE. OneView Support Matrix documentation for supported hardware.

I hate to pile on here - but lack of PDU integration with Oneview has been a longstanding concern of mine as well.  The OneView hardware support matrix Racks and Power page you referenced only shows HPE Intelligent Power Distribution Units (Firmware version 1.4 and later) as supported PDU's and does not specify model numbers, etc.  But the entire Intelligent PDU Gen 1 product line is officially retired, considered obsolete and hasn't been available for sale for YEARS - I couldn't get iPDU Gen1's for the first Synergy environment I stood up in 2019 and was steered toward G2 PDU's by my VAR. I was surprised to later learn that G2's were not officially supported under Oneview.  No one standing up a current Synergy environment today is going to be able to get iPDU G1's as a supported and warranteed product.  I can't even get the G2's I've used in my existing Synergy environments anymore ( P9R78a -and I know, they're not iPDU's, just metered) as it appears that HPE has decided to offload their PDU offerings to a third party manufacturer line entirely.

And so I'll be buying Enlogic by nvent G3's like the OP to power two new Synergy 3-frame environments. But it'd sure be nice to be able to tie the available real-time power metering capabilities into Oneview..  I would like to see HPE devote the engineering efforr to integrate currently-selling HPE PDU product lines into Oneveiew as selectable devices in the Type: dropdown in the Power Delivery Devices section rather than just having to enter PDU capacity and voltage specs into a generic "Rack PDU" selection. Just my $0.02

@PatrickLong appreciate your feedback here.  Please do know that we do not make these decisions in a vaccum.  We have examined our PDU offerings over the years and generations, with the volume server power options team, and have discussed this topic with the HPE field (HPE sales and partner teams).  Needless to say, there have been other higher priority work in our backlog to address.  We continue to monitor this space, just the overall feedback isn't there.
