Commands description PPIC can only process one command at a time. Help menu -h: This command will display a summary of supported commands and options. Display chassis power level and configuration -d: This command will display the instantaneous power reading for the entire chassis: 1. Total Chassis Power (AC): the sum of all power consumed by all present nodes and chassis subsystems. 2. Set Power Configuration Mode for more information. Poll chassis power level -p -ffrequency -tduration: This command will poll the chassis status and configuration every frequency seconds for a total duration of duration seconds: 1. Total Chassis Power (AC): the sum of all power consumed by all present nodes and chassis subsystems. Enabling verbose mode (-v) will provide detailed information about the chassis power consumption. Verbose -v: This command will only affect the output of Display chassis power level and configuration and Poll chassis power level. Enabling verbose will provide detailed information about the chassis power consumption: 1. Maximum Chassis Power Available (AC): the total power supply capacity available in the chassis. 2. Total Chassis Power (AC): the sum of all power consumed by all present nodes and chassis subsystems. 3. Total Chassis Peak Power (AC): the highest calculated power value for the chassis since it was last cleared. 4. Total Chassis Peak Power (DC): the highest calculated power value for the chassis since it was last cleared. 5. Bay Power (DC): the instantaneous power consumption calculated at each bay. (Example: A 2U node connected on bay 3 will have a total power consumption of bay 3 plus bay 4) 6. Total Fan Power (DC): instantaneous fan power consumption of all active fans in the chassis.
