366 Power Management
Using the Web Interface
To enable PM3 external management:
1
Login with Chassis Configuration Administrator privileges to the chassis.
2 Select Chassis Overview in the system tree.
3 Click Power  Configuration .
The
Budget/Redundancy Configuration page is displayed.
4 Set Server Based Power Management Mode .
5 Click Apply .
After the Server Based Power Management Mode is enabled, the chassis is
prepared for PM3 management. All 12th generation server priorities are set to
1 (High). PM3 manages the server power and priorities directly. Since PM3
controls compatible server power allocations, CMC no longer controls the
Maximum Power Conservation Mode. Hence this selection is disabled.
When the Maximum Power Conservation Mode is enabled, the CMC sets
the System Input Power Capacity to the maximum that the chassis can
handle. CMC does not allow power to exceed the highest capacity. However,
PM3 handles all other power capacity limitations.
To disable external power management:
1
Login with Chassis Configuration Administrator privileges to the chassis.
2 Select Chassis Overview in the system tree.
3 Click Power  Configuration .
The
Budget/Redundancy Configuration page displays.
4 Clear Server Based Power Management Mode .
5 Click Apply .
When PM3 management of power is disabled, the CMC reverts to the server
priority settings before the external management was enabled.
NOTE: When PM3 management is disabled, CMC does not revert to the earlier
setting of the maximum chassis power. Refer to the CMC log for the earlier setting in
order to manually restore the value.
