Real world power scheduler
The application provides components for each plan to retrieve real world power usage for racks. You can set the
interval and start or stop the retrieving process. Once the retrieving process is started, the Retrieving Status is
displayed as On. Once the interval is set and the process is started, the application retrieves real world power
usage from external source periodically for all the racks in the plan.
To set the intervals:
1. Select Edit, Real World Power Scheduler.
2. Confirm that the plan name is correct.
3. In the Interval field, enter the number of hours, days or weeks.
4. In the Unit field, select Hours, Days or Weeks and click Start.
