Figure 3 – Power Utilization Management Profile: Before RequestPowerUtilizationAlgorithm()
9.2.2 After the Successful RequestPowerUtilizationAlgorithm() Method Execution
Figure 4 represents an instantiation of the Power Utilization Management Profile after a successful
RequestPowerUtilizationAlgorithm() method execution. The RequestPowerUtilizationAlgorithm() method
was executed with the RequestedAlgorithm parameter set to 3 (Custom Settings Based), the
CustomSettingNames parameter set to {“CPUPowerMode”, ”MemoryPowerMode”,
”OtherMemoryPowerMode”, ”FanPowerMode”} and CustomSettingValues parameters set to {4 (OS
Demand Based), 1 (Other), 1067, 3 (Min Power).
After the successful execution, the service1.PendingPowerUtilizationAlgorithm changed from 0(Unknown)
to 3(Custom Settings Based), as indicated in the RequestedAlgorithm parameter of the executed method.
The granular pending settings are represented by the customsettingdata1 that is associated with service1
through the ElemenSettingData association. The ElementSettingData association’s IsPending property
has 2 (IsPending) value, and the IsCurrent property has 2 (Is Not Current) value. The customsettingdata1
properties reflect the values of the executed method’s CustomSettingsValue parameter’s values. The
service1.PowerUtilizationAlgorithm continues to have value 7(Active Power Utilization) because the
change of the power service algorithm requires a reboot of the ComputerSystem managed system.
