IBM Power Ideas Portal
This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a “nice to have” low priority feature. It would be good to know whether the SRC means power supply failed or the power itself.
Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

I would suggest to do some research on smart PDU, which can be managed from anywhere. e.g. https://dataprobe.com/iboot-pdu-American/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4su39pHv-AIVYMmUCR2A6QilEAAYASAAEgKhQvD_BwE
What power machine type model ?
Power 7 8202-E4D V7R3
Power 8 8286-41A V7R2
Power 8 8284-21A V7R3
Power 9 9009-22G V7R4
Power 9 9009-41A V7R3
The root problem I am trying to solve is to determine remotely whether the power supplies have AC power on them or not.
A simple example is the data center which performs MONTHLY tests on its centralized UPS. Sometimes the AC power is lost on one of more of the power supplies and the system will generate a WRKPRB and ACTIVATE the ATTENTION light display. When they finish the MONTHLY testing, We have to connect to the system, CLOSE the WRKPRB entries and CLEAR the ATTENTION light. At this point we don't know whether the AC has been returned to the power supplies or not. Many of these data centers are not manned 24hours.
I hope this helps paint a better picture.
1) Does your configuration have an HMC, vHMC, or is it an unmanaged system?
Our systems are managed manually.
2) Does your configuration have UPS?
Our systems are powered from the PDU in racks. Not able to connect to UPS status ports.
