Polling servers for power values

To enable a background process that polls each server for its average, minimum, and maximum power
values, enter ENABLE POLLPOWER.
Polling these values increases the performance of SNMP queries of these power values.
The poll cycle time varies depending on how many server chassis are plugged into the HP APM system. The
more chassis that are present, the less frequently each server will be polled.
If POLLPOWER is enabled, then an SNMP request for any of these values on any resident server returns the

last polled value instead of requesting the real time values from the server at the time the request is made.
