Monitoring Server Power Consumption
Oracle ILOM provides the following power metrics for the server:
■
Power Supply Maximum: The maximum amount of power the power supply units (PSU)
can draw.
■
Allocated Power: The power allocated for installed and hot-pluggable components.
■
Actual Power: The amount of power the server is currently consuming.
■
Peak Permitted: The maximum power the server can consume at any time.
In addition, you can view historical power consumption data from the Oracle ILOM web
interface.
To view server power metrics, see the following procedures:
