Unable to view/receive iLO 2 power threshold alerts.
Solution: Perform the following to resolve the problem:
Using iLO 2 Web Interface, you need to configure the CMS server to receive SNMP alerts
from iLO 2.
From Systems Insight Manager, you need to configure cpqHo2PowerThresholdTrap defined
in cpqHost.mib on the SNMP Trap Settings (OptionsEventsSNMP Trap Settings) page.
On power threshold breach, iLO 2 sends SNMP alerts, which are logged against the system
and can be viewed from Events tab of the System page.
Data Center Power Control Rule Users must be authorized for Monitor Tools.
When you do not have proper user authorization for Data Center Power Control and simulate or
execute a rule, the following message may be displayed:
An error occurred while running the rule. Please make sure the user is
authorized for DCPC tool in HP SIM.
Solution: To avoid this error, you must have authorization for Monitor Tools for each possible target
of a rule. The administrator (with authorization to configure Central Management Server security)
must establish this through OptionsSecurityUsers and Authorizations.
Understanding power history calculation
For the non-monitored power distributors and power consumers, it is possible for power management
sometimes to determine their power history from other sources. Power history calculation is supported
for racks as well. The conditions that can prevent power history calculation are listed below. For
some of the conditions, suggested actions are provided to resolve the conditions.
Some power consumers do not have user-defined maximum power attributes.
Solution: For the user-defined maximum power attributes, perform the following:
1. From the System tab of the system, expand Power Management section and click
Configure.
2. Enter the maximum possible power consumption value in the Maximum Possible Power
Consumption (Watts) field and click OK. The maximum power value will be used to
represent the power history of the system.
Some power consumers do not have monitored power sources.
Solution: Where possible, attach monitored power distributors.
The rack is empty.
Solution: Populate the rack.
The power distributor does not feed any monitored power consumers.
The power delivery hierarchy does not lend itself to a departmentalization of the available
power history. For example, when you assume that there are two unmonitored outlets connected
to a monitored enclosure, then it will not be possible to determine the portion each outlet
provides to the enclosure. In such situations, power history calculation is not possible.
Solution: Where possible, use power distribution devices with outlet monitoring.
Power history is available to calculate history from other sources, but the data does not overlap
in time. It is possible that the date and time on the various systems and devices are not
synchronized, or there are gaps in the history data. It is possible that one or more of the
