HP Insight Control Power Management 6.2 User Guide

HP Systems Insight
Manager
Provides unified foundation management services for HP servers, storage, and network resources
from a single console. Systems Insight Manager delivers centralized fault, configuration, inventory,
performance management, warranty details, automated service call initiation and troubleshooting
information. Systems Insight Manager is built according to industry standards to manage HP and
third-party infrastructure resources.
HP Systems Insight
Manager database
(database)
The database that stores vital information about Systems Insight Manager, including users, systems,
and toolboxes.
Integrated
Lights-Out (iLO)
Basic system management functions, diagnostics, and essential Lights-Out functionality are included
as core components of Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) supported systems. The standard features of
iLO are referred to as iLO Standard. Advanced remote administration functionality, referred to
as iLO Advanced, can be licensed with the optional Integrated Lights-Out Advanced Pack for HP
Integrity Servers.
license keys The contractual permissions granted by HP to the customer in the form of a coded embodiment
of a license that represents a specific instance of a license. A single license can be represented
by a single key or by a collection of keys.
line voltage The line voltage of the data center that is delivered to the observed device.
load The power consumer connected to the outlet. The outlet can be a system, enclosure, or
undiscoverable system.
load segment A monitorable power output on a PDU. This normally corresponds to one C19 outlet and may
be further subdivided through a power strip into C13 outlets depending upon the need.
multiple-system
aware (MSA)
A run type that supports multi-system operations. Tools with this run type operate on the target
systems using their own internal mechanisms instead of using the Distributed Task Facility. The
MSA run type uses the Distributed Task Facility to launch the tool on a single system before the
tool interacting with the other managed systems.
Onboard
Administrator
The Onboard Administrator is the central point for controlling an entire c-Class rack. It offers
configuration, power, and administrative control over the rack, and its associated blades (Compute
Servers), blade management processors, network switches (depending on the models of switches
used) and storage components (such as SAN or SATA). The Onboard Administrator is a single
management processor, with shared resources to an optional backup twin processor for failover.
operating range The center bar shows the theoretical range of minimum and maximum power consumption of the
systems being summarized.
operator rights
user
A user who has limited capability to configure the Central Management Server. operator rights
users have permission to create, modify, and delete all reports and their own tools.
outlet A circuit with one input and one output that can be monitored. This is available in the power
topology when discovered through a HP PDU..
outlet bar This represents the division of the load segment into multiple outlets.
PDU Management
Module
A PDU Management Module (MM) enables you to monitor power environments through
comprehensive control of individual HP PDUs. The module can be configured to send alert traps
to HP Systems Insight Manager and other SNMP management programs or used as a standalone
monitoring system. This flexibility enables you to monitor up to two PDUs through the network
connector or serial connector located on the front of the management module. To facilitate
day-to-day maintenance tasks, the embedded management software provides detailed system
logs. The MM is connected to one ore more PDUs (aka PDU cores). Often a single MM is used
to monitor both the SideA/SideB power in a rack even though the MM itself is not redundant.
peak observed
power
Peak of power consumption values concurrently observed for all attached devices. For
non-observable devices, the “Max” power configuration value will be used. This is not the sum
of the peak power consumption over all devices – that is a higher value than the peak sum of
power consumed at any given time.
peak observed
time
The peak observed time of the power consumption.
Power Cap Power Cap allows the user to set the wattage limit on the amount of power a system will consume.
