Set Power Target Limit Property on Server SP

Language:

You can control the amount of power an Oracle server is permitted to consume by setting the Power Target Limit property in Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM).

Before You Begin

Log in to Oracle ILOM. For instructions on how to log in to Oracle ILOM, see Launch and Log In to Oracle ILOM.
Ensure that you have Admin (a) role privileges in Oracle ILOM.

Note - The server Power Target Limit property in Oracle ILOM is disabled by default.

This procedure provides both web and command-line interface (CLI) instructions for the server service processor (SP).

To define a power target limit for an Oracle ILOM-managed server:
- From the Web interface:
  1. Click Power Management > Limit.
  2. Enter a Target Limit in watts or as a percentage.
    Note - The Target Limit should be set between the minimum power drawn by the installed hardware components and the maximum power the managed server is permitted to consume (peak permitted).
  3. Enable Power Limiting by selecting the Power Limiting check box.
  4. Click Save to apply your changes.
- From the CLI to set a power limit and activate the power limit state on the managed server, type:
  set /SP/powermgmt/budget pending_power_limit=[ value ] pendingactivation_state=enabled commit_pending=true
  
  Where the value represents the target limit value in watts or as a percentage.
  
  Note - The Target Limit should be set between the minimum power drawn by the installed hardware components and the maximum power the managed server is permitted to consume (peak permitted).
