Power capping 42

To remove baseline data from the EEPROM, use the SET POWER BASELINE NONE command. After this

command is used, the only way to re-establish a power baseline is to use the SET POWER BASELINE

command.
If a power cap is currently in place, the SET POWER BASELINE NONE command cannot be used. The power

cap must first be removed (SET POWER CAP NONE), then the baseline can be removed.
If a power cap is currently in place and a SET POWER BASELINE command is issued, then any current

power caps are removed in the calibration. New power caps can be established following the calibration
process, assuming the new baseline data is saved to the EEPROM.
The following text is an example output when an advanced license is installed on all chassis:

> set power baseline

Before running a baseline calibration - ensure that

your configuration has all machines turned on and are

running processes that are typical of the type of workload

you expect them to run in a production environment.

This process will briefly impact the performance of the

servers that are being baseline calibrated as well as

temporarily speed up the fans.

Are you sure you wish to set a new power baseline for this system? (Y/N/Q)

-> Yes

port 1

Verifying..done

One or more servers located in chassis at Power Manager port 1, Dist. Module

port 1 is not licensed for the power capping feature.

This chassis will be skipped for baselining purposes.

Note: All licensed servers should be booted up at least once

so the BIOS/ROM can write the relevant license information

to the chassis controller.
