=head1 B<DESCRIPTION>
This B<renergy> command can be used to manage the energy consumption of
IBM servers which support IBM EnergyScale technology. Through this command,
user can query and set the power saving and power capping status, and also can
query the average consumed energy, the ambient and exhaust temperature,
the processor frequency for a server.
B<renergy> command supports IBM POWER6 and POWER7 rack-mounted servers,
BladeCenter management modules, blade servers, and iDataPlex servers.
For system p rack-mounted servers, the following specific hardware types are supported:
I<8203-E4A>, I<8204-E8A>, I<9125-F2A>, I<8233-E8B>, I<8236-E8C>.
The parameter I<noderange> needs to be specified for the B<renergy> command to
get the target servers. The I<noderange> should be a list of CEC node names, blade
management module node names or blade server node names. Lpar name
is not acceptable here.
B<renergy> command can accept multiple of energy attributes to query or one of energy
attribute to set. If only the attribute name is specified, without the '=', B<renergy>
gets and displays the current value. Otherwise, if specifying the attribute with '=' like
'savingstatus=on', B<renergy> will set the attribute savingstatus to value 'on'.
The attributes listed in the B<SYNOPSIS> section are which ones can be handled by
B<renergy> command. But for each specific type of server, there are some attributes that
are not supported. If user specifies an attribute which is not supported by a specific
server, the return value of this attribute will be 'na'.
The supported attributes for each specific system p hardware type is listed as follows:
=over 2

Note:
For system P CEC nodes, each query operation for attribute CPUspeed, averageAC
or averageDC needs about 30 seconds to complete. The query for others attributes
will get response immediately.
=head1 B<PREREQUISITES>
For the system p nodes, the B<renergy> command depends
on the Energy Management Plugin B<xCAT-energy> to
communicate with server. B<xCAT-energy> can be downloaded from the IBM web site:
http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/xcat/energy.html
For iDataPlex nodes, the B<renergy> command depends
on the Energy Management Plugin B<perl-IBM-EnergyManager> to
communicate with server. This plugin must be requested from IBM.
(The support for BladeCenter energy management is built into base xCAT,
so no additional plugins are needed for BladeCenter.)
=head1 B<OPTIONS>
=over 4
=item B<-h | --help>
Display the usage message.
=item B<-v | --version>
Display the version information.
=item B<-V>
Verbose output.
=item B<all>
Query all energy attributes which supported by the specific
type of hardware.
=item B<pd1all>
Query all energy attributes of the power domain 1 for blade
management module node.

Query the current ambient temperature. (Unit is centigrade)
=item B<availableDC>
Query the total DC power available for the entire blade center chassis.
=item B<averageAC>
Query the average power consumed (Input). (Unit is watt)
Note: For 9125-F2A,9125-F2C server, the value of attribute
averageAC is the aggregate for all of the servers in a rack.
Note: For Blade Center, the value of attribute
averageAC is the total AC power being consumed by all modules
in the chassis. It also includes power consumed by the Chassis
Cooling Devices for BCH chassis.
=item B<averageDC>
Query the average power consumed (Output). (Unit is watt)
=item B<capability>
Query the Power Capabilities of the blade server.
staticPowerManagement: the module with the static worst case power values.
fixedPowermanagement: the module with the static power values but ability
to throttle.
dynamicPowerManagement: the module with power meter capability, measurement
enabled, but capping disabled.
dynamicPowerMeasurement1: the module with power meter capability, measurement
enabled, phase 1 only
dynamicPowerMeasurement2: the module with power meter capability, measurement
enabled, phase 2 or higher
dynamicPowerMeasurementWithPowerCapping: the module with power meter capability,
both measurement and capping enabled, phase 2 or higher
=item B<cappingmaxmin>
Query the maximum and minimum of power capping value
which can be set for a CEC or blade server. (Unit is watt)
=item B<cappingperc>=B<percentage>
Set the power capping value base on the percentage of
the max-min of capping value which getting from
I<cappingmaxmim> attribute. The valid value must be
from 0 to 100.
=item B<cappingsoftmin>
Query the minimum value that can be assigned to power
capping without guaranteed enforceability. (Unit is watt)
=item B<cappingstatus>
Query the power capping status. The result should be 'on'
or 'off'.
=item B<cappingstatus>={B<on> | B<off>}
Set the power capping status. The value must be 'on'
or 'off'. This is the switch to turn on or turn off the
power capping function.
=item B<cappingvalue>
Query the current power capping value. (Unit is watt)
=item B<cappingwatt>=B<watt>
Set the power capping value base on the watt unit.
If the 'watt' > maximum of I<cappingmaxmin> or 'watt'
< I<cappingsoftmin>, the setting operation
will be failed. If the 'watt' > I<cappingsoftmin> and
'watt' < minimum of I<cappingmaxmin>, the value can NOT be
guaranteed.
=item B<CPUspeed>
Query the effective processor frequency. (Unit is MHz)
=item B<dsavingstatus>
Query the dynamic power saving status. The result should
be 'on-norm', 'on-maxp' or 'off'.
If turning on the dynamic power saving, the processor
frequency and voltage will be dropped dynamically based on
the core utilization. It supports two modes for turn on state:
I<on-norm> - means normal, the processor frequency cannot
exceed the nominal value;
I<on-maxp> - means maximum performance, the processor
frequency can exceed the nominal value.
=item B<dsavingstatus>={B<on-norm> | B<on-maxp> | B<off>}
Set the dynamic power saving. The value must be 'on-norm',
'on-maxp' or 'off'.
The dsavingstatus setting operation needs about 2 minutes
to take effect. (The used time depends on the hardware type)
The B<dsavingstatus> only can be turned on when the
B<savingstatus> is in turn off status.
=item B<exhausttemp>
Query the current exhaust temperature. (Unit is centigrade)
=item B<ffoMin>
Query the minimum cpu frequency which can be set for FFO. (Fixed
Frequency Override)
=item B<ffoNorm>

=item B<ffoTurbo>
Query the advertised maximum cpu frequency (selling point).
=item B<ffoVmin>
Query the minimum cpu frequency which can be set for dropping down
the voltage to save power. That means when you drop the cpu
frequency from the ffoVmin to ffoVmin, the voltage won't change,
then there's no obvious power to be saved.
=item B<ffovalue>
Query the current value of FFO.
=item B<ffovalue>=B<MHZ>
Set the current value of FFO. The valid value of ffovalue should
be between the ffoMin and ffoNorm.
The ffovalue setting operation needs about 1 minute to take effect.
=item B<fsavingstatus>
Query the status of FFO. The result should be 'on' or 'off'.
'on' - enable; 'off' - disable.
=item B<fsavingstatus>={B<on> │ B<off>}
Set the status of FFO. The value must be 'on' or 'off'.
'on' - enable. It will take effect only when the B<ffovalue>
has been set to a valid value.
'off' -disable. It will take effect immediately.
