Hi Emilio,

Don't confuse the two arguments 'pwrsupplies' and 'pwrmonitoring'. They
do different things, and check_openmanage uses both of them. It runs
'omreport chassis pwrsupplies' to get the status of the power supplies,
and it runs 'omreport chassis pwrmonitoring' to get the status and value
of the amperage probes. The latter includes the overall power
consumption of the server.

In your case, it's the 'pwrmonitoring' command that fails. This is a
known problem with some older versions of OMSA. Which version of OMSA
are you running, and on what kind of PowerEdge server?
