Presently, it only supports IBM POWER6 rack-mounted servers. Note: The keyword 'server' in this document is identical to 'rack-mounted server'. The parameter 'noderange' can be a list of node names (CEC's name). Note: Lpar name is not acceptable. B command can accept multiple attributes to query. If only keywords list is specified, without the '=', it displays the current value. B command can only set one attribute once running. For the attributes that are not supported by certain server, the return value will be 'na'. Prerequisite: Before running the B command, a prerequisite package B needs to be downloaded from IBM web site and installed. Note: Each query operation for attribute CPUspeed, averageAC or averageDC costs about 30 seconds to complete. Query for the others attributes will get response immediately. Only following specific hardware types are supported by B command: 8203-E4A, 8204-E8A Supports attributes: all 9125-F2A Supports attributes: savingstatus,CPUspeed,ambienttemp, exhausttemp,averageAC =head1 B -h | --help Display the usage message. -v | --version Display the version information. -V Verbose output. all Query all of the energy attributes. savingstatus Query the Power Saving status. The result should be 'on' or 'off'. Note: To support the power saving attribute, POWER6 processors should greater than or equal to 4.0 GHz. savingstatus={on | off} Set the Power Saving status. The value must be 'on' or 'off'. Note: The setting value needs about 2 minutes to take effect. cappingstatus Query the Power Capping status. The result should be 'on' or 'off'. cappingstatus={on | off} Set the Power Capping status. The value must be 'on' or 'off'. cappingwatt=watt Set the Power Capping value base on the watt unit. If the 'watt' > maximum of cappingmaxmin or 'watt' < minimum of cappingmaxmim, the setting operation will fail. cappingperc=percentage Set the Power Capping value base on the percentage of the max-min of capping value. cappingmaxmin Query the maximum and minimum of Power Capping value that can be set for a CEC. (Unit is watt) cappingvalue Query the current Power Capping value. (Unit is watt) cappingsoftmin Query the minimum value that can be assigned to Pcap without guaranteed enforceability. (Unit is watt) averageAC Query the average power consumed (Input). (Unit is watt) Note: For 9125-F2A server, the value of attribute averageAC is the aggregate for all of the servers in the rack. averageDC Query the average power consumed (Output). (Unit is watt) ambienttemp Query the current ambient temperature. (Unit is centigrade) exhausttemp Query the current exhaust temperature. (Unit is centigrade) CPUspeed Query the effective CPU speed. (Unit is MHz) =head1 B 0 The command completed successfully. 1 An error has occurred. =head1 B 1.
