Power Allocation Plan Properties per Managed Device

Refer to the following tables for information about the Oracle ILOM power allocation plan properties.

Table 6-3 System Power Specification Properties (Power Allocation)

Power Metric Property (read-only) Managed Device Description

Power Supply Maximum

(/SP/powermgmt available_power)

x86 SP

The Power Supply Maximum property value, shown in Oracle ILOM interfaces, represents the maximum input power wattage that the power supplies are capable of drawing from the power outlets.

Peak Permitted

(/SP/powermgmt permitted_power)

x86 SP

SPARC SP

The Peak Permitted property value, shown in Oracle ILOM interfaces, represents the maximum power wattage consumption guaranteed to the managed device. For instance:

  • For Oracle x86 and SPARC servers, the Peak Permitted property represents the maximum input power wattage that the server can consume at any instant.

Important monitoring considerations:

  • Not all x86 server SPs support the property for Target Limit in the Oracle ILOM interfaces. In these instances, the same property value (wattage) shown for Peak Permitted is derived by the power consuming hardware components installed on the managed server.

  • For an Oracle server SP, Oracle ILOM derives the wattage value shown for Peak Permitted from the property values shown for Allocated Power and Target Limit. If the Target Limit property is not supported, Oracle ILOM derives the Peak Permitted property value from the power consuming hardware components installed on the managed server.

For further information about budgeting power that is consumed by a managed device, refer to Setting Power Alert Notifications and Managing System Power Usage in Oracle ILOM 5.1 Administrator’s Guide.

Allocated Power

(/SP/powermgmt allocated_power)

x86 SP

SPARC SP

The Allocated Power property value, shown in Oracle ILOM interfaces, represents the maximum input power wattage allocated to a managed device. For example:

  • For an Oracle rackmounted server, the Allocated Power property value represents the total sum of the maximum power allocated to all installed chassis components and hot-pluggable components configured on the rackmount server.

Target Limit

(/SP/powermgmt/budget powerlimit)

x86 SP

SPARC SP

The Target Limit property value, shown in Oracle ILOM interfaces, displays the power limit value (wattage or percentage) configured on the server.

Important power monitoring considerations:

  • Oracle ILOM uses the set power limit value to determine the power budgeting parameters allowed for a server.
  • When a power limit is not configured in Oracle ILOM, the read-only Target Limit property value Not Configured appears in the Power Allocation Plan.
  • Not all x86 server SPs support a Target Limit property in the Oracle ILOM interfaces. When a Target Limit property is not supported, Oracle ILOM will determine the Peak Permitted wattage value based on the power consuming hardware components installed on the managed server.

For more information about power budgeting or instructions for configuring a power limit, refer to Setting Power Alert Notifications and Managing System Power Usage.

Refer to the SP power allocation table below for information about the component power map properties.

Table 6-4 Per Component Power Map Properties (SP Power Allocation)

Power Metric Property (read-only) Managed Device Description

Allocated Power

(/SP/powermgmt allocated_power)

x86 SP

SPARC SP

The Allocated Power property value, shown in Oracle ILOM SP interfaces, represents the total sum of power wattage allocated to either: 1) a server component category (CPUs), or 2) an individual component installed on the server (MB_P0).

Can be capped

x86 SP

SPARC SP

A Yes or No property value, per server component, appears in the Oracle ILOM SP web interface to indicate whether a power budget limit can be set for that server component.

Note: If power budgeting (Target Limit property) is not supported by the server, the “Can be capped” property will not appear in the Power Management Allocation Plan.

For further information about power budgeting, refer to Setting Power Alert Notifications and Managing System Power Usage.
