Chapter 4 Operation of the Server 4-5
Power consumption and Exhaust air
To display power consumption and exhaust air of a server, use the power
consumption monitoring function and the airflow indicator. Power consumption
monitoring function and airflow indicator make it possible to routinely confirm the
amount of power consumed on and airflow emitted while the server is up and
running.
Note – The power consumption monitoring function is supported only on M3000
server that run certain versions of XCP firmware as below. The
M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 servers do not support the power consumption
monitoring function.
- M3000 server; XCP 1081 or later
The airflow indicator is supported only on M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000
servers that run certain versions of XCP firmware as below.
- M3000 server; XCP 1082 or later
- M4000/M5000 servers; XCP1100 or later
- M8000/M9000 servers; XCP1090 or later
For specific information about these minimum software and firmware requirements,
see the latest version of the Product Notes (no earlier than the XCP 1081 edition) for
your server.
To display the power consumption, use the showenvironment power command.
The results displays the maximum (Permitted AC power consumption) and
actual (Actual AC power consumption) power consumption values. When the
power type is DC [direct-current] power supply, "... DC power ..." is displayed. To
display the amount of exhaust air, use the showenvironment air command. You
can also obtain the data of power consumption and exhaust air using the SNMP
agent function.
The following is the showenvironment examples on M3000 server:
Note – Power consumption and airflow values are for reference only. These values
vary depending on factors such as system load.
XSCF> showenvironment air
Air Flow:63CMH
XSCF> showenvironment power
Permitted AC power consumption:470W
Actual AC power consumption:450W
