Change BIOS Power/Performance settings via OMSA

Hi all,

I'm assuming the answer to this is 'NO', but I have this scenario.

I have a number of R410's that will sit in a DC for DR purposes and I'm just over a certain power rating scale regarding pricing.

If I set the servers in BIOS to 'minimum power' (as they'll be sat most of the time (hopefully!) not doing anything, but receiving data updates), if I needed to use them in anger, can this setting be changed via OMSA? Or will I have to shut down, change the power setting back to 'maximum performance' and reboot?

The power difference between 'minimum power' and 'maximum performance' is enough to drop me into a lower power bracket but at the expense of having to reboot them to make the change again...

Thanks in advance.

Gavin2812,

 

As you can see below the option is available in OMSA, but as you suspected it would require a reboot to make the change.

Let me know if this helps.
