Supplies that are in standby mode. This power can be allocated to any hardware
modules that are either added to the chassis or brought online.
This needs to be:
Indicates the amount of standby power (in watts) that is available in the event
of a Power Supply fault or Power Supply removal from system. This field may show
readings when the system has four or more power supplies and you have enabled
Dynamic Power Supply Engagement.
NOTE: It is possible to see a PSU in standby mode but not contribute to the Standby
DC Power Capacity value. In this case the watts from this PSU are contributing to
Total DC Power Available for Allocation value. (182571)
* The help for the Server Power Throttling Enabled on the Power Management
Budget/Redundancy configuration page located in the Chassis-> Power
Management tab->Configuration sub-tab of the CMC user interface in all
languages needs to explain that the power will be siphoned from lower
priority servers in the order of increasing slot numbers.
Currently the help reads:
Enables (when checked) the CMC to siphon power from lower priority servers
when power is needed for the entire chassis. In this case, the servers are
allowed to continue operating at a degraded performance level rather than
shut down.
This needs to be:
Enables (when checked) the CMC to siphon power from lower priority servers
in the order of increasing slot number (slot 1 to 16) when power is needed
for the entire chassis. In this case, the servers are allowed to continue
operating at a degraded performance level rather than shut down. (186703)
* The help for Power Management Budget/Redundancy configuration page
located in the Chassis-> Power Management tab->Configuration sub-tab
of the CMC user interface in all languages refers to "System Max AC Power
Limit (2768 - 7928)" field displayed on the User Interface as "Enclosure
Max Power Limit" and "System AC Power Warning Threshold (2500 - 7130)"
field on the User Interface as "Power Warning Threshold".
In addition the "System Max AC Power Limit (2768 - 7928)" needs to have the
following detailed explanation:
System Max AC Power Limit is the max AC power that the system is allowed to
draw from incoming AC power supply source. It can be configured by the user
if and only if the value exceeds the AC Power equivalent (i.e. 15% higher
than the DC allocated power value) of the currently allocated DC Power to
Servers and Chassis Infrastructure. If an attempt is made by the user to
configure the value such that it falls below the AC power equivalent of the
currently allocated DC Power to Servers and Chassis Infrastructure the attempt
would not be successful. In other words, users are NOT allowed to configure
an AC power limit that is less than what is currently allocated to the servers
and infrastructure as that would result in blades being automatically powered
down. The DC power allocated to Servers and Chassis Infrastructure can be found
in the User Interface on the Chassis -> Power Management-> Power Budget status
page under Power Budgeting section or via CLI RACADM utility command (racadm
