Monitor Server Power Consumption and
Component Temperatures
This section describes how to monitor the amount of power the server consumes and the
temperature of the air entering and leaving the system.

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:
■
“View Current Server Power Consumption (Oracle ILOM)” on page 84
■
“View Power Allocated to Server Components (Oracle ILOM)” on page 84
