NOTE: Depending on your server, this page might look slightly different. Figure 8-20 Power Regulator Page NOTE: The BL c-Class tab is available only on HP Integrity server blades. Table 8-21 lists the fields, buttons, and descriptions. Table 8-21 Power Regulator Page Description Fields and Buttons Power Regulator Mode Enable Dynamic Power Savings Mode Enable Static Low Power Mode Enable Static High Performance Mode Enable OS Control Mode Description Three are four modes in which the power regulator can operate. The power regulator modes (Static Low, Static High and Dynamic) are independent of the operating system and work for any operating system. The OS Control Mode requires Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP1 or later or Red Hat Linux 4 Update 2 or later. Sets the processors to the appropriate power level based on the utilization of each CPU core during the last 1/8 second. The CPU is set to the power saving processor power state if the CPU is operating at a utilization level that can be completed at the slower CPU frequency. The CPU is set to the maximum performance processor power state if the CPU is operating at a utilization level that requires the fastest CPU frequency. Sets the processor to the lowest supported processor state and forces the CPUs to stay in that lowest state. This mode saves the maximum amount of resources, but it might affect the system performance if processor utilization stays at or above 75% utilization. Sets the processor to the highest supported processor state and forces the CPUs to stay in that highest state. This mode ensures maximum performance, but it does not save any resources. This mode can be used to create a baseline of power consumption data without the power regulator. Configures the server to enable the operating system to control the processor power states. This is the necessary setting for OS power management. Moving from this state to any of the three previous states does not require a server reboot because Integrity iLO 2 power regulation works in cooperation with the OS. (This is different from ProLiant iLO power regulation). 136 Using iLO 2
