To enable redundancy and set the redundancy policy:
NOTE: To perform power management actions, you must have Chassis Control
Administrator privilege.
1 Open a Telnet/SSH text console to the CMC and log in.
2 Set properties as needed:
• To set the maximum power budget for the chassis, type:
racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
cfgEnclosureMaxPowerBudget <
value >
where <value> is a number between 2768–7928 representing the
maximum power limit in watts. The default is 7928.
For example, the following command:
racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
cfgEnclosureMaxPowerBudget 5400
sets the maximum power budget to 5400 watts.
• To set the power warming threshold, type:
racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
cfgChassisPowerWarningThreshold <
value >
where < value > is a number between 2768–7928 (inclusive)
representing the power consumption limit in watts beyond which a
warning is issued. The default is 7928.
For example, the following command:
racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
cfgChassisPowerWarningThreshold 5400
sets the maximum power budget to 5400 watts.
• To enable or disable power conservation mode (server throttling),
type:
racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
cfgChassisEnablePerformanceDegradation <
value >
where < value > is 0 (disable), 1 (enable). The default is 1.
