View Power Consumption Metrics for a Managed Device

To monitor the power wattage metrics for a managed device from the CLI or web interface, follow one of these procedures:

  • Monitor power consumption – Web Procedure 1

  • Monitor power consumption – CLI Procedure 2

Before You Begin

  • The actual power consumption metric identifies the input power wattage that the managed device is currently consuming. The peak permitted power consumption metric identifies the maximum power wattage the managed device can consume.

  • The target limit power consumption metric, available for Oracle's SPARC servers only when enabled, identifies a user-defined power wattage or percentage limit that the device can consume.

  • To generate a power consumption event notification for a managed device, or to enable power limiting on a SPARC server, see the Related Information section following these instructions.

  1. Monitor Power Consumption – Web Procedure

    To view the power consumption metrics from the SP web interface, click Power Management > Consumption.

    A power consumption wattage value, for the managed device, appears for the Actual Power and Peak Permitted Power properties.

    A power consumption wattage or a percentage value for the Target Limit, if previously enabled, appears in addition to the other power consumption metrics when the managed device is a SPARC server from Oracle.

    Note:

    The ability to monitor power consumption varies depending on the implementation of this feature on the server. Refer to the server administration guide or Oracle ILOM supplement for information about server-specific Oracle ILOM behavior for power management.
  2. Monitor Power Consumption – CLI Procedure

    To view the power consumption metrics from the SP CLI, perform the following:

    For the SP CLI, type: show /SP/powermgmt actual_power

    show /SP/powermgmt permitted_power

    If the managed device is a SPARC server and power limiting is enabled, type:

    show /SP/powermgmt target_limit
