Power Monitoring and Management 293
Using RACADM
racadm config -g cfgServerPower -o
cfgServerPowerCapWatts <power cap value in Watts>
racadm config -g cfgServerPower -o
cfgServerPowerCapBTUhr <power cap value in BTU/hr>
racadm config -g cfgServerPower -o
cfgServerPowerCapPercent <power cap value in % >
racadm config -g cfgServerPower -o
cfgServerPowerCapEnable <1 to enable, 0 to disable>
NOTE: When setting the power budget threshold in BTU/hr, the conversion to
Watts is rounded to the nearest integer. When reading the power budget threshold
back, the Watts to BTU/hr conversion is again rounded in this manner. As a result,
the value written could be nominally different than the value read; for example, a
threshold set to 600 BTU/hr will be read back as 601 BTU/hr.
