Configuring Power Budget and Redundancy Using RACADM

NOTE: To perform power management actions, you must have the Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege.

To enable and set the redundancy policy:

1.Open a serial/Telnet/SSH text console to CMC and log in.

2.Set properties as needed:

To select a redundancy policy, type:

racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o cfgChassisRedundancyPolicy <value>

where <value> is 1 (Grid Redundancy), and 2 (Power Supply Redundancy). The default value is 2. For example, the following command sets the redundancy policy to 1:

racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o cfgChassisRedundancyPolicy 1

To set the power budget value, type:

racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o cfgChassisPowerCap <value>

where <value> is a number between 938 W — 4800 W, representing the maximum power limit in Watt. The default is 4800.

For example, the following command sets the maximum power budget to 4800 Watt:

racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o cfgChassisPowerCap 4800

To enable or disable dynamic PSU engagement, type:

racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o cfgChassisDynamicPSUEngagementEnable <value>

where <value> is 0 (disable), 1 (enable). The default is 0.

For example, the following command disables dynamic PSU engagement:

racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o cfgChassisDynamicPSUEngagementEnable 0
