11 Monitoring and managing power You can use iDRAC to monitor and manage the power requirements of the managed system. This helps to protect the system from power outages by appropriately distributing and regulating the power consumption on the system. The key features are: • Power Monitoring - View the power status, history of power measurements, the current averages, peaks, and so on for the managed system. • Power Capping - View and set the power cap for the managed system, including displaying the minimum and maximum potential power consumption. This is a licensed feature. • Power Control - Enables you to remotely perform power control operations (such as, power on, power off, system reset, power cycle, and graceful shutdown) on the managed system. • Power Supply Options - Configure the power supply options such as redundancy policy, hot spare, and power factor correction.

NOTE: The histogram for the system power consumption trend (hourly, daily, weekly) is maintained only while iDRAC is running. If iDRAC is restarted, the existing power consumption data is lost and the histogram is restarted. Monitoring power using web interface To view the power monitoring information, in iDRAC Web interface, go to Overview > Server > Power/Thermal > Power Monitoring. The Power Monitoring page is displayed. For more information, see the iDRAC Online Help. 164 Monitoring and managing power
