Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for controlling power sequence in a blade center environment. A blade center environment has many devices requiring power. A relationship component module creates a topology of interdependent relationships of the devices. A monitor component module monitors commands to regulate power for devices. A validating module validates that the commands do not violate the interdependent relationships defined in the topology and returns a failure message if the command is not validated.
