Power Management Overview

You can optionally set system management policies in Oracle ILOM to control the power consumption. This topic uses PDomain_0 and HOST0 as examples.

Server
Domains
Description
SPARC M8-8 or SPARC M7-8 sever (two PDomains)
Two static domains
Set from /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_0/SP/powermgmt.
SPARC M8-8 or SPARC M7-8 server (one PDomain)
One static domain
Set from /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_0/SP/powermgmt.

A power cap enabled at the PDomain level is measured against the power consumption of the CMIOUs that are owned by the PDomain. Oracle ILOM polls the /HOST0/VPS sensor and notifies the logical domain power capper module in the control domain of how much power consumption needs to be increased or decreased to achieve the cap.

For information about setting power management properties with the features that are common to all platforms managed by Oracle ILOM, refer to Setting System Management Power Source Policies in Oracle ILOM Administrator’s Guide for Configuration and Maintenance Firmware Release 4.0.x.
