When Dell OpenManage Power Center management of power is disabled, the CMC reverts to the server priority settings
before the external management was enabled.
NOTE: When Dell OpenManage Power Center management is disabled, CMC does not revert to the earlier setting
of the maximum chassis power. See the CMC log for the earlier setting to manually restore the value.

To enable and set the redundancy policy:
1. Open a serial/Telnet/SSH text console to CMC and log in.
2. Set properties as needed:
– To select a redundancy policy, type:
racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o
cfgChassisRedundancyPolicy <value>
where < value > is 0 (No Redundancy), 1 (Grid Redundancy), 2 (Power Supply Redundancy). The default is 0.
For example, the following command enables Grid Redundancy mode:
racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o cfgChassisRedundancyPolicy 1
– To enable or disable Extended Power Performance mode, type:
racadm config -g cfgChassisPower -o cfgChassisEPPEnable <value>
where <value> is 0 (disable), 1 (enable). The default is 1 for 3000W PSUs
