Users Guide

For example, the following command sets the maximum power budget to 4800 Watt:
racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
cfgChassisPowerCap 4800
• To enable or disable dynamic PSU engagement, type:
racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
cfgChassisDynamicPSUEngagementEnable <value>
where <value> is 0 (disable), 1 (enable). The default is 0.
For example, the following command disables dynamic PSU engagement:
racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
cfgChassisDynamicPSUEngagementEnable 0
• To enable the maximum power consumption mode, type:
racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
cfgChassisMaxPowerConservationMode 1
• To restore normal operation, type:
racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
cfgChassisMaxPowerConservationMode 0
• To enable the power remote logging feature, enter the following command:
racadm config -g cfgRemoteHosts -o
cfgRhostsSyslogPowerLoggingEnabled 1
• To specify the desired logging interval, enter the following command:
racadm config -g cfgRemoteHosts -o
cfgRhostsSyslogPowerLoggingInterval
n
where n is 1-1440 minutes.
• To determine if the power remote logging feature is enabled, enter the following command:
racadm getconfig -g cfgRemoteHosts -o
cfgRhostsSyslogPowerLoggingEnabled
• To determine the power remote logging interval, enter the following command:
racadm getconfig -g cfgRemoteHosts -o
cfgRhostsSyslogPowerLoggingInterval
The power remote logging feature is dependent on previously congured remote syslog hosts having been . Logging to one or
more remote syslog hosts must be enabled, otherwise power consumption is logged. This can be done either through the web GUI
or the RACADM CLI. For more information, see the remote syslog conguration instructions.
• To enable remote power management by Open Manage Power Center (OPMC), type:
racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
cfgChassisServerBasedPowerMgmtMode 1
• To restore CMC power management, type:
racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
cfgChassisServerBasedPowerMgmtMode 0
For information about RACADM commands for chassis power, see the cong, getcong, getpbinfo, and cfgChassisPower sections in
the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide.
Executing Power Control Operations
You can execute the following power control operation for the chassis, servers, and IOM.
NOTE
: Power control operations aect the entire chassis.
