> set power cap 2000 blue
New cap represents 84 percent of the max cap of eligible entities.
Apply cap (Y/N) ->
The above output sets a power cap only to those chassis that are in the zone defined as BLUE. If all the caps
must be removed from a zone, then SET POWER CAP NONE can be used.
> set power cap none blue
Remove power cap(s)? (Y/N) ->
The above command removes all power cap settings from the HP APM chassis that is resident in on the HP
APM port 1 and distribution module ports 2 and 3, or zone blue. Since there is only a single chassis that
matches that description, the operation only affects that one chassis.
If a cap is set using a zone, then the zone is removed, the cap is unaffected. A new zone may be created that
includes some or all of the ports of the former zone and caps set against the new zone as well. Zones are
strictly a defined set of SL enclosures that can be used to specify which machines are being considered for a
cap. They are a vehicle for enabling multiple caps and/or “exclusion” areas to be created within a single HP
APM domain of enclosures with respect to power capping.
Power baselines and zones
The power baseline cannot be created with respect to a zone. The baseline is a singular separate entity that
is saved into the HP APM EEPROM. Zones can use portions of the established baseline when considering
power caps, but the baseline is established globally.
Power commands
NOTE: You must also have an HP ProLiant s6500 Chassis or later with BIOS support required.
The power commands use the HP APM port number, the distribution module port number, and server node
port number as input parameters.
NOTE: HP APM considers the10 Consolidated Management Ports as RDM1.
