Compaq ProLiant 6000 Power
Management using Windows NT
Performance Monitor
The focus of this white paper is to describe redundant power supplies and power supply
performance counters on a Compaq ProLiant 6000 system running Microsoft Windows
NT 4.0.
It explains how to monitor redundant hot-pluggable power supply modules using
the Microsoft Windows NT Performance Monitor with the Compaq performance health
counters.
The information presented in this document is intended for system administrators,
network managers, and system/network engineers with knowledge of Compaq server
products and Microsoft Windows NT.
This document describes how to:
•
evaluate information provided by the power supply performance counters to
determine total power consumption
•
interpret performance counter values to determine power supply redundancy
•
calculate power usage to predict effects of adding additional components to your
system
•
provide test scenarios that demonstrate power utilization and its effects on
redundancy
•
denote caveats to help eliminate single points of failure
This document assumes that you know how to use the Windows NT Performance Monitor.
For instructions on using the utility, please refer to the Windows NT Resource Guide
and/or the Windows NT Performance Monitor Help file.
