Controlling power costs
Power costs continue to climb in the data center. You can determine the power used by each
system, and the relative performance of the system, to identify systems that are the least energy
efficient to use, and good candidates for an upgrade.
Table 11 Predefined analysis queries: Finding energy inefficient systems
Description Query name
Physical servers that have little to no resource utilization over the
selected interval and use a significant amount of power.
Consider removing these systems or converting them to VMs.
Low usage hardware and high power
Systems with possible resources misutilization
The following predefined queries locate systems with possible resource misutilization due to software
issues.
Table 12 Predefined analysis queries: Finding systems with resources misutilization
Description Query name
Systems with a profile indicating an application is in an infinite
loop. These systems have had at least one CPU core fully utilized
for more than 24 hours, or at least half of one hyperthreaded CPU
core occupied for more than 48 hours. Systems with a possible infinite loop
Finding systems with configuration issues
The following predefined queries locate systems with configuration issues.
Table 13 Predefined analysis queries: Finding systems with configuration issues
Description Query name
These systems are missing any power calibration. Power calibrations
are generally collected from iLO. Confirm that Insight Power
Manager is configured correctly. The power calibration can also
be set manually. Missing power calibration
These systems are up, yet have no valid CPU readings. The system
may have configuration errors preventing data collection. Look at
the events for these systems for an indication of why data collection
is failing. No data collected in the interval
Creating custom analysis queries
You can create a custom query in several ways:
•
By editing a predefined query and saving it under a new name.
•
By editing a custom query and saving it under a new name.
•
By creating a new custom query using the Actions
→New menu item.
Prerequisites
To create a new analysis query:
•
You must be logged in to Matrix Operating Environment.
•
You must be authorized to use Capacity Advisor on at least one managed system.
•
Capacity Advisor data must have been collected and analyzed.
See “Data collection for analysis queries” (page 108) .
