Viewing Power Budget

The server provides power budget status overviews of the power subsystem on the Power Budget Information page.

Using the Web Interface

NOTE: To perform power management actions, you must have Administrative privilege.

1Log in to the iDRAC6 Web-based interface.

2Click the Power tab.

3Select the Power Budget option.

4The Power Budget Information page displays.

The first table displays the minimum and maximum limits of user-specified power capping thresholds for the current system configuration. These represent the range of AC power consumptions you may set as the system cap. Once selected, this cap would be the maximum AC power load that the system could place upon the datacenter.

System Minimum Power Consumption displays the default lowest power cap value.

System Maximum Power Consumption displays the default highest Power Cap value. This is also the current system configuration's absolute maximum power consumption.

Open a Telnet/SSH text console to the iDRAC, log in, and type:

racadm getconfig -g cfgServerPower
