Power Utilization Management Profile
Version 1.0.0a 15
7.4.1 Maximum Power Consumption Level
If the CIM_PowerAllocationSettingData instance represents the maximum power consumption level for
the managed system, then the referenced CIM_SettingsDefineCapabilities association’s ValueRange
property shall have 2 (Maximums) value. The Limit property of the CIM_PowerAllocationSettingData
instance shall represent the maximum power consumption level for the managed system in the units
defined in the AllocationUnits property. The PowerAllocationSettingPurpose of the
CIM_PowerAllocationSettingData shall have value 4 (MaxAsConfigured).
7.4.2 Minimum Power Consumption Level
If the CIM_PowerAllocationSettingData instance represents the maximum power consumption level for
the managed system, then the referenced CIM_SettingsDefineCapabilities association’s ValueRange
property shall have 1 (Minimums) value. The Limit property of the CIM_PowerAllocationSettingData
instance shall represent the minimum power consumption level for the managed system in the units
defined in the AllocationUnits property. The PowerAllocationSettingPurpose of the
CIM_PowerAllocationSettingData shall have value 3 (MinWhenOn).
7.4.3 Other Power Consumption Level
If the CIM_PowerAllocationSettingData instance does not represent the maximum or minimum power
consumption level for the managed system, then the referenced CIM_SettingsDefineCapabilities
association’s ValueRange property shall have 0 (Point) value. The Limit property of the
CIM_PowerAllocationSettingData instance shall represent the detailed power consumption level for the
managed system in the units defined in the AllocationUnits property.
8 Methods
This section details the requirements for supporting intrinsic operations, and extrinsic methods for the CIM
elements defined by this profile.
8.1 Method:
DCIM_OEMPowerUtilizationManagementService.RequestPowerUtilizationAl
gorithmEI()
The DCIM_OEMPowerUtilizationManagementService.RequestPowerUtilizationAlgorithmEI () method
requests a change in the power utilization algorithm for the managed system using an embedded
instance for the CustomSettings parameter.
DCIM_OEMPowerUtilizationManagementService.RequestPowerUtilizationAlgorithmEI () return values
shall be as specified in Table 2.
DCIM_OEMPowerUtilizationManagementService.RequestPowerUtilizationAlgorithmEI () parameters are
specified in Table 3.
No standard messages are defined for this method.
