Server Performance Over Power Redundancy
When enabled, this option favors server performance and server
powerup, over maintaining power redundancy. When disabled, the system
favors power redundancy over server performance. When disabled, then
if the power 298 Managing and Monitoring Power supplies in the chassis
do not provide sufficient power, both for redundancy, as well as full
performance, then to preserve redundancy, some servers may not be:
- Granted sufficient power for full performance
- Powered on
