Infrastructure View
The rack power manager plug-in logs all historical data for power and environmental devices.
To operate the reporting capabilities within rack power manager, you must organize units in an
infrastructure view. Each infrastructure may contain up to four levels in the following
hierarchy:
“company,” “data center,” “row of racks” and “rack”; racks contain power and environmental
devices. Power management reports are available for all infrastructure levels. Reports include
total power consumption, threshold events, power consumption per phase, total energy
consumption, temperature and energy costs for each unit. Comparative reports juxtapose the
historical data of multiple units.
The information provided here is supplemental to the Rack Power Manager help.
Prerequisites
Before power data can be collected, the following configuration must be complete:
• The voltage and power factor must be configured for each power device for which you
want to collect data; see the RPM help (keywords: power devices).
• An infrastructure with power and/or environmental devices must be configured. The Power
Management link in the side navigation bar displays the organization configured from the
Infrastructure window. Data monitoring must also be enabled on the units from the
Infrastructure window.
