• To determine the power remote logging interval, type the following command:
racadm getconfig -g cfgRemoteHosts -o cfgRhostsSyslogPowerLoggingInterval
The power remote logging feature is dependent on remote syslog hosts having been previously configured. Logging to one
or more remote syslog hosts must be enabled, otherwise power consumption is logged. This can be done either through the
Web interface or the RACADM CLI. For more information, see the remote syslog configuration instructions in the Chassis
Management Controller for Dell PowerEdge M1000e RACADM Command Line Reference Guide at dell.com/support/
manuals.
• To enable remote power management using the Dell OpenManage Power Center, 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 config, getconfig, getpbinfo, and cfgChassisPower
sections in the Chassis Management Controller for Dell PowerEdge M1000e RACADM Command Line Reference Guide.
