ISS Technology Update Figure 1-3. Sample output from SHOW ENCLOSURE STATUS command Volume 6, Number 7 Using HP Lights-Out XML Scripting as an alternative method for accessing power consumption information for HP BladeSystem p-Class servers HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) 5.1 or later is the easiest tool to use to acquire power consumption information for HP BladeSystem p-Class servers. HP SIM allows you to determine power consumption levels from an individual power supply or from a group of servers. However, if you choose to group information using scripts and analyze data using other methods, HP Lights-Out XML Scripting is an alternative way to collect the same power consumption data that HP SIM can provide. Using HP Lights-Out XML Scripting to gather power consumption information for HP BladeSystem p-Class servers requires making two requests to iLO. One request identifies the power supplies in each HP BladeSystem p-Class Enclosure. The second request obtains detailed power enclosure information. Each request must be executed in sequence to determine the approximate power used by each power supply and the total power used in the rack. NOTE Both requests return information in an XML format as shown in Figures 2-1 and 2-2. 4
