100 Using the BMC Management Utility
• powerconsumption : Displays the warning threshold, failure threshold,
system instantaneous headroom, and system peak headroom in Watts or
BTU/hr and the instantaneous current consumption in Amperes.
Command Syntax:
ipmitool -I lanplus -H <ip-address> -U <user> -P
<password> -k <kgkey> delloem powermonitor
powerconsumption <watt|btuphr>
The system peak headroom is applicable on systems with PMBus support.
The peak headroom is reported in BTU/hr or Watt. Peak Headroom (in
Watts) = Input Wattage to Power Supply
– Peak Power drawn by the
system. For redundant power supplies, the minimum input wattage
between the two power supplies is taken. This value is not displayed in
modular systems. The system instantaneous headroom is applicable on
systems with PMBus support. The instantaneous headroom is reported in
BTU/hr or Watt. Instantaneous Headroom (in Watts) = Input Wattage to
the Power Supply
– Instantaneous Power drawn by the system. For
redundant power supplies, the minimum input wattage between the two
power supplies is taken. This value is not displayed in modular systems.
•
getpowerbudget : Displays the maximum power, minimum power, and
the power budget cap either in BTU/hr or Watt and is supported on
xx 1 x
systems supporting PMBus.
Command Syntax:
ipmitool -I lanplus -H <ipaddress> -U <user> -P
<password> -k <kgkey> delloem powermonitor
getpowerbudget <watt|btuphr>
• setpowerbudget : Allows you to set the power budget cap either in
BTU/hr, or Watt, or in percentage and is supported on
xx 1 x systems
supporting PMBus.
Command Syntax:
ipmitool -I lanplus -H <ipaddress> -U <user> -P
<password> -k <kgkey> delloem powermonitor
setpowerbudget <val><watt|btuphr|percent>
NOTE: <val> should be a positive integer.
