Power Capping Policy

Name	Description
Non-Compliance Action	The action the system should take if power capping is enabled and the
	server requests more than its peak power allotment. This can be one of
	the following:
	• —The server is forced to reduce its power consumption by any
	means necessary. This option is available only on some C-Series
	servers.
	• —No action is taken and the server is allowed to use more power
	than specified in the Peak Power field.
	• —The server is shut down.
	• —Processes running on the server are throttled to bring the total
	power consumption down.

This example displays the detailed power statistics:

Power Capping Policy

The power capping policy determines how server power consumption is actively managed. When power capping is enabled, the system monitors how much power is allocated to the server and attempts to keep the power consumption below the allocated power. If the server exceeds its maximum allotment, the power capping policy triggers the specified non-compliance action.
