Using HP Onboard Administrator as an alternative method for accessing power
consumption information for HP BladeSystem c-Class servers
HP Onboard Administrator Command Line Interface (CLI) commands can be used (and scripted) to view power consumption
information for HP BladeSystem c-Class server blades or the c-Class power enclosure.
How to make a request for server blade information
The HPONCFG command sends a Remote Insight Board Command Language (RIBCL) script to the specified BladeSystem
c-Class server blades. You can send the same RIBCL script to one or more of the server blades in the enclosure, such as in the
following examples:
•
HPONCFG ALL returns power consumption information for all server blades in the enclosure.
•
HPONCFG 1, 3, 5 returns power consumption information for server blades in Bays 1, 3, and 5.
•
HPONCFG returns power consumption information for server blades in Bay 2 (Figure 1-1 shows the sample output).
