Power Budget Threshold
Power Budget Threshold, if enabled, enforces power limits for the system.
System performance is dynamically adjusted to maintain power consumption
near the specified threshold.
Actual power consumption may be less for light workloads and momentarily
may exceed the threshold until performance adjustments have completed.
NOTE: Power Budget Threshold information is read-only and cannot be enabled or
configured in iDRAC6.
Using the Web Interface
1 Log in to iDRAC6 Web interface.
2 In the system tree, select System .
3 Click the Power Management tab, and then click Power Budget .
The
Power Budget screen is displayed. The Power Budget Threshold
table displays the following power limit information for the system:
• Enabled indicates whether the system enforces the power budget
threshold.
•
Threshold in Watts and Threshold in BTU/hr display the limit in AC
Watts and BTU/hr respectively.
•
Threshold in Percentage (of Maximum) displays the percentage of
power capping range.
Using RACADM
To view the Power Budget Threshold data from local RACADM, on the
managed server, open a command line interface and enter:
racadm getconfig -g cfgServerPower -o
cfgServerPowerCapWatts
