Power Management 241
Throttling is executed in two cases:
• Overall power consumption exceeds the configurable maximum power
limit (see "Setting the Power Budget" on page 239)
• A power failure occurs in a non-redundant configuration
For information about assigning priority levels to servers, see "Executing
Power Control Operations on the Chassis" on page 241.
Executing Power Control Operations on the Chassis
NOTE: To perform power management actions, you must have Chassis Control
Administrator privilege.
NOTE: Power control operations affect the entire chassis. For power control
operations on an IOM, see "Executing Power Control Operations on an IOM" on
page 242. For power control operations on servers, see "Executing Power Control
Operations on a Server" on page 243.
The CMC enables you to remotely perform several power management
actions, such as an orderly shutdown, on the entire chassis (chassis, servers,
IOMs, iKVM, and PSUs).
