Power Supply Profile
Version 1.0.0a 17
7.10 Power Supply Profile Metrics (Optional)
This section describes the Power Supply Profile metrics. The constraints in this section are in addition to
the ones defined in DSP1053.
The CIM_BaseMetricDefinition.Name property shall have the value specified in the column “Name”, and
shall meet the requirements for one of the metrics type mentioned in the corresponding column
“Supported Metrics” per DSP1053 if the metric matches the description in the column “Description”.
Table 3 – Power Supply Profile Metrics – Dell Specific
Name Supported Metrics Type Description
Dell:System Power Consumption Simple, Aggregation
Dell metric describing
instantaneous power
consumption of a system
including the historic trending
data, high and low watermarks.
Dell:System Power Production Simple, Aggregation
Dell metric describing the power
produced by a system by all its
power production components,
such as power supplies, and
includes the historic trending
data, and high and low
watermarks.
Dell:System Aggregate Power
Consumption
Summation
Dell metric describing
accumulative power
consumption of a system
including its components
supplied externally (KW*hr).
Dell:Power Source Power
Consumption
Simple, Aggregation
Dell metric describing external
consumption of power source
such as power supply or power
converter.
Dell:Power Source Power
Production
Simple, Aggregation
Dell metric describing power
produced by a power source,
such as a power supply or a
power converter.
Dell:Component Power
Consumption
Simple, Aggregation
Dell metric describing the power
consumption by a specific
component.
Dell:Generic Power Consumption Simple, Aggregation,Summation
Dell generic metric that
describes power consumption by
a single of a group of managed
elements that could include a
mix of power sources and
consuming components.
Dell:Generic Power Production Simple, Aggregation,Summation
Dell generic metric that
describes power production by a
single of a group of managed
elements that could include a
mix of power sources and
consuming components.
