Step 5 Server /power-cap # commit

Specifies the maximum number of watts that can be allocated to this server. Enter a number of watts within the range defined by the Minimum Configurable Limit field and the Maximum Configurable Limit field of the show power-cap detail command output. These fields are determined by the server model.

If the server requests more power than specified in this command, the system takes the action defined by the set non-compliance-actioncommand.

Specifies 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:

•force-power-reduction—The server is forced to reduce its power consumption by any means necessary. This option is not available on some server models.

•none—No action is taken and the server is allowed to use more power than specified in the peak power setting.

•power-off-host—The server is shut down.

•throttle—Processes running on the server are throttled to bring the total power consumption down.

Commits the transaction to the system configuration.
