Server power of 11th generation and earlier servers
OPMC then manages prioritization and power of 12th generation server nodes in the chassis from the budget available
after allocation of power to chassis infrastructure and prior generation server nodes. Remote power logging is
unaffected by external power management.
After the Server Based Power Management Mode is enabled, the chassis is prepared for PM3 management. All 12th
generation server priorities are set to 1 (High). PM3 manages the server power and priorities directly. Since PM3
controls compatible server power allocations, CMC no longer controls the Maximum Power Conservation Mode. Hence,
this selection is disabled.
When the
Maximum Power Conservation Mode
is enabled, the CMC sets the System Input Power Capacity to the
maximum that the chassis can handle. CMC does not allow power to exceed the highest capacity. However, PM3
handles all other power capacity limitations.
When PM3 management of power is disabled, the CMC reverts to the server priority settings before the external
management was enabled.
NOTE:
When PM3 management is disabled, CMC does not revert to the earlier setting of the maximum chassis
power. See the
CMC log
for the earlier setting to manually restore the value.
