Dell Chassis Management Controller Version 1.3 for PowerEdge FX2/FX2s User's Guide

Configuring power budget and Redundancy using RACADM

NOTE: To perform power management actions, you must have the Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege.

To enable and set the redundancy policy:

Open a serial/Telnet/SSH text console to CMC and log in.

Set properties as needed:

To select a redundancy policy, type:

racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
                                          cfgChassisRedundancyPolicy <value>

where < value> is 0 (No Redundancy), 1 (Grid Redundancy), and 3 (Redundancy Alerting Only). The default value is 3.

For example, the following command sets the redundancy policy to :

racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
                                          cfgChassisRedundancyPolicy 1

To set the power budget value, type:

racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
                                          cfgChassisPowerCap <
                                          value>

where < value> is a number between the Current runtime Chassis Burden and 3371, representing the maximum power limit in Watt. The default is 3371.

For example, the following command sets the maximum power budget to 3371 Watt:

racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
                                          cfgChassisPowerCap 3371

To view the upper bound and the lower bound, type:

racadm getconfig -g cfgchassispower -o cfgchassispowercap <
                                             lower,upper> bound

where < lower, upper> is the lower bound and the upper bound limit.

racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
                                             cfgChassisPowerCap 3000

To enable the maximum power consumption mode, type:

racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
                                          cfgChassisMaxPowerConservationMode 1

To restore normal operation, type:

racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
                                          cfgChassisMaxPowerConservationMode 0

To enable the power remote logging feature, enter the following command:

racadm config -g cfgRemoteHosts -o
                                          cfgRhostsSyslogPowerLoggingEnabled 1

To specify the desired logging interval, enter the following command:

racadm config -g cfgRemoteHosts -o
                                          cfgRhostsSyslogPowerLoggingInterval 
                                          n

where n is 1-1440 minutes.

To determine if the power remote logging feature is enabled, enter the following command:

racadm getconfig -g cfgRemoteHosts -o
                                          cfgRhostsSyslogPowerLoggingEnabled

To determine the power remote logging interval, enter the following command:
```
racadm getconfig -g cfgRemoteHosts -o
                                          cfgRhostsSyslogPowerLoggingInterval
                                       
```
The power remote logging feature is dependent on previously configured remote syslog hosts having been . Logging to one or more remote syslog hosts must be enabled, otherwise power consumption is logged. This can be done either through the web GUI or the RACADM CLI. For more information, see the remote syslog configuration instructions.

To restore CMC power management, type:

racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
                                          cfgChassisServerBasedPowerMgmtMode 0
