Power Management 195
Assigning Priority Levels to Servers
Server priority levels determine which servers the CMC draws power from
when additional power is required.
NOTE: The priority you assign to a server is linked to its slot and not to the server
itself. If you move the server to a new slot, you must reconfigure the priority from
the new slot location.
NOTE: To perform power management actions, you must have Chassis
Configuration Administrator privilege.
Using the Web Interface
1 Log in to the CMC Web interface.
2 Select Servers in the system tree. The Servers Status page appears.
3 Click the Power Management tab. The Server Priority page appears,
listing all of the servers in your chassis.
4 Select a priority level (1–9, with 1 holding the highest priority) for one,
multiple, or all servers. You can assign the same priority level to multiple
servers.
5 Click Apply to save your changes.
Using RACADM
Open a Telnet/SSH text console to the CMC, log in, and type:
racadm config -g cfgServerInfo -o cfgServer Priority
-i <
slot number > < priority level >
Where <slot number> (1–16) refers to the location of the server, and
<priority level> is a value between 1–9.
For example, the following command:
racadm config -g cfgServerInfo -o cfgServer Priority
-i 5 1
sets the priority level to 1 for the server with the index name of 5.
Setting the Power Budget
NOTE: To perform power management actions, you must have Chassis Control
Administrator privilege.
