HP Insight Control Power Management 7.0 User Guide

Capping is online when the servers determine their maximum power consumption and will draw
close to their maximum power at roughly the same time. If this peak is too large, it may cause
problems. To prevent this from occurring, it is important to power on these server groups in a
staggered manner. In the case of auto power-up situations, including during the execution of Data
Center Power Control rules, this staggered power-up can be achieved by enabling the servers'
Power On Delay and setting it to "Random up to 120 seconds". This is accomplished through the
iLO interface or through the enclosure OA for BladeSystem servers.
Power monitoring for Integrity Servers
HP Insight Control power management enables you to monitor power of supported Integrity servers
using Power Regulator modes and power topology. For a list of supported servers, see HP Insight
Management Support Matrix available at http://www.hp.com/go/insightcontrol/docs.
The power monitoring for Integrity servers is provided as follows:
• For the regular and rackable Integrity Servers, the power monitoring is provided for server
only.
• For Integrity Superdome2, the power monitoring is provided for complex, server enclosure,
IOX enclosure, cell blade, and nPartition.
◦ Complex power is composed from the enclosures (server and IOX) that comprise the
complex.
◦ nPartition power is composed from the cell blades assigned to the partition and fractions
of any IOX enclosures according to the IO bays assigned to the nPartition.
