Figure 3: The iPDU communicates with each server's iLO Management Engine before you power on the servers. Insight Control power management can discover and communicate with iPDUs to retrieve the power topology and power measurement data. It lets you visualize, monitor, and control the power topology of a complete rack system from a central console, either local or remote. Location Discovery Services Location Discovery Services technology automatically reports server locations to HP SIM and Insight Control, eliminating this tedious manual task for server administrators. Administrators can use the location information and system data with HP Asset Manager to obtain more precise and complete asset data. Rack-level thermal mapping Insight Control power management gathers data for correlating the location of ProLiant Gen8 servers with power usage, system and rack temperature data, and workloads. You can use this information to manage the placement of servers and workloads better. This includes avoiding thermal alarms and moving workloads from hot spots where cooling is insufficient to systems with excess cooling. Moving workloads to eliminate hot spots can prevent over-provisioning of cooling and lead to much higher data center efficiency. 15
