HP ProLiant Power Interface Control Utility 8
Commands
PPIC can only process one command at a time.
Help menu
-h:
This command displays a summary of supported commands and options.
Display chassis power level and configuration
-d:
This command displays the instantaneous power reading for the entire chassis. This includes Total Chassis
Power (AC): the sum of all power consumed by all present nodes and chassis subsystems.
For more information, see "Set Power Configuration Mode (on page
9 )."
Poll chassis power level
-p -ffrequency -tduration:
This command polls the chassis status and configuration every frequency seconds for a total duration of
duration seconds. This includes Total Chassis Power (AC): the sum of all power consumed by all present
nodes and chassis subsystems.
To obtain detailed information about the chassis power consumption, enable Verbose (on page
8 ) mode (-v).
Verbose
-v:
This command affects the output of Display chassis power level and configuration and Poll chassis power
level. To obtain the following detailed information about the chassis power consumption, enable verbose
mode:
• Maximum Chassis Power Available (AC): the total power supply capacity available in the chassis
• Total Chassis Power (AC): the sum of all power consumed by all present nodes and chassis subsystems
• Total Chassis Peak Power (AC): the highest calculated power value for the chassis since it was last
cleared
• Total Chassis Peak Power (DC): the highest calculated power value for the chassis since it was last
cleared
• Bay Power (DC): the instantaneous power consumption calculated at each bay. (Example: A 2U node
connected on bay 3 has a total power consumption of bay 3 plus bay 4.)
• Total Fan Power (DC): instantaneous fan power consumption of all active fans in the chassis
• Storage Backplane power (DC): the instantaneous power consumption calculated at the backplane
