EnergyWise for Advanced ePDUs 1 Introduction 1.1 Purpose The aim of this document is to provide the required information to use EnergyWise on the ePDU. It contains: • a brief description of EnergyWise (to obtain more information: see REF_1 & REF_2) • the configuration parameters used from HyperTerminal • the EnergyWise agent ePDU states • the EnergyWise parameters managed by the ePDU 1.2 References [REF_1]: EnergyWise Introduction White.pdf [REF_2] : ew_v2.
EnergyWise for Advanced ePDUs 2 General description of Cisco EnergyWise The Cisco EnergyWise network provides power usage management for the EnergyWise compatible power devices connected to the network. This one defines three different kinds of devices (REF 1): • Management Station: to control and manage the power usage of Endpoints connected to the domain members. • Domain member (switch, router, …) : to forward messages between Managements stations and Endpoints.
EnergyWise for Advanced ePDUs 2.1 Endpoint Description 2.1.1 Entity description An Endpoint can be composed of one or several entities. Each entity can be monitored individually. In case of the ePDU, the Endpoint is composed of: • One entity for the ePDU: master • One entity for each outlet ePDU Endpoint Device ePDU (master): entity 0 Outlet 1:entity 1 Outlet 2:entity 2 ... Outlet n:entity n 2.1.2 Power level description EnergyWise defines 11 levels to manage the power usage of the device.
EnergyWise for Advanced ePDUs A threshold level is defined to share the On/Off switch operation: during a set operation, the outlet is switched off if the level set is below this threshold, else the outlet is switched On. But, whatever the level, during a Get level operation, 10 will be always returned if the outlet is On, and 0 if the Outlet is Off: Set Level query: • If the new level is equal or superior to the threshold level: the outlet is switched On.
EnergyWise for Advanced ePDUs 2.2 Configuration (from the serial port of the ePDU) The serial console of the ePDU allows the management of the EnergyWise agent. The REF3 document describes how to use the serial console. The Communication Card minimal version software for EnergyWise support is version “12 Beta”. From a HyperTerminal connected to the serial Port, enter your password: The root menu of the EATON ePDU Configuration Utility is displayed: Select the menu 1 “Network Management Card Information”.
EnergyWise for Advanced ePDUs 2. Secret Control: Enabled if you use a password to authenticate the communication between domain member and Endpoints. 3. Secret: the password used in the EnergyWise domain to communicate with the Endpoints (only used if you have enabled the Secret Control). 4. Remote Port: the remote port used by the domain members to communicate with the Endpoints. 5. Listen Port: the local port of the Endpoint to communicate with the domain members. 6.
EnergyWise for Advanced ePDUs 3.1 Master Settings 3.1.1 Name Definition This parameter is used to address the endpoint from the EnergyWise domain. This parameter is a string (max length 31 characters). Default value The card hostname. Set Set enabled. This action sets another name than hostname for the EnergyWise Master name. 3.1.2 Role Definition This parameter is used to describe the master function. This parameter is a string (max length 31 characters).
EnergyWise for Advanced ePDUs Set Set not allowed. 3.1.6 Importance Definition This parameter represents the functional importance of the Endpoint in the customer infrastructure. The value is an integer from 1 to 100. Default value The default value will be 1. Set Set enabled. 3.1.
EnergyWise for Advanced ePDUs 3.1.10 Usage Vector Definition This parameter is the maximum power usage value for each level. It is a vector of 11 unsigned values. As the usage of the device is not measured, this vector will be set to 0. Default value { 0 , 0 , 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 } Set No. 3.1.11 Delta Usage Vector Definition This parameter is a vector of the difference between the actual power usage (parameter Usage) and the maximum power usage for each level. It is a vector of 11 signed values.
EnergyWise for Advanced ePDUs 3.2 Outlets Settings 3.2.1 Name Definition This parameter is used to address the endpoint from the EnergyWise domain. This parameter is a string (max length 31 characters). Default value The name of the outlet. Set Set enabled. This action sets another name that outlet name fixed by the ePDU. 3.2.2 Role Definition This parameter is used to describe the function of the outlet. This parameter is a string (max length 31 characters). Default value “Outlet” Set Set enabled. 3.2.
EnergyWise for Advanced ePDUs Outlet Set Set not allowed. 3.2.6 Importance Definition This parameter represents the Endpoint functional importance in the customer infrastructure. The value is an integer from 1 to 100. Default value The default value will be 1. Set Set enabled. 3.2.
EnergyWise for Advanced ePDUs 3.2.10 Usage Vector Definition This parameter is the power usage maximum value for each level. It is a vector of 11 unsigned values. The maximum power will be computed from the rated current capacity of the outlet and the PDU rating voltage. If the values are not measured by the ePDU, the value will be 0.
EnergyWise for Advanced ePDUs DISABLED STOPPED STARTING STARTED Internal energyWise state : DOWN INITIALIZING UP ACTIVE STOPPING REQUESTED SHUTDOWN ERROR This state is saved in flash and restored during the boot according to following rule: If the value restored from flash during the boot is different from Disabled, the agent tries automatically to reach the Active state; else, the agent stays disabled.
