=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, 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.
Currently, following specific hardware types are supported:
I<8203-E4A>, I<8204-E8A>, I<9125-F2A>, I<8233-E8B>.
The parameter I<noderange> needs to be specified for B<renergy> command to
get the target server. The I<noderange> should be a list of CEC 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 turn on the static power saving.
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
are not supported. If user specifies an attribute which does not be supported by certain
server, the return value of this attribute will be 'na'.
The supported attributes for each specific hardware types are listed at following:
8203-E4A, 8204-E8A
Supported attributes:
B<Query>: savingstatus,cappingstatus,cappingmin,cappingmax,cappingvalue,
cappingsoftmin,averageAC,averageDC,ambienttemp,exhausttemp,CPUspeed
B<Set>: savingstatus,cappingstatus,cappingwatt,cappingperc
9125-F2A
Supported attributes:
B<Query>: savingstatus,averageAC,ambienttemp,exhausttemp,CPUspeed
B<Set>: savingstatus
8233-E8B
Supported attributes:
B<Query>: savingstatus,dsavingstatus,cappingstatus,cappingmin,cappingmax,
cappingvalue,cappingsoftmin,averageAC,averageDC,ambienttemp,exhausttemp,
CPUspeed,syssbpower,sysIPLtime
B<Set>: savingstatus,dsavingstatus,cappingstatus,cappingwatt,cappingperc
Note:
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<PREREQUISITE>
B<renergy> command depends on a CIM client tool B<xCAT-cimclient> to
communicate with server. Then, before running the B<renergy> command, please
check whether the B<xCAT-cimclient> package has been installed.
B<xCAT-cimclient> can be downloaded from IBM web site.
=head1 B<OPTIONS>
-h | --help
Display the usage message.
-v | --version
Display the version information.
-V
Verbose output.
B<all>
Query all energy attributes which supported by the specific
type of hardware.
savingstatus
Query the static power saving status. The result should be
'on' or 'off'. 'on' - enable; 'off' - disable.
savingstatus={on | off}
Set the static power saving. The value must be 'on' or 'off'.
If turning on the static power saving, the processor frequency
and voltage will be dropped to a fixed value to save energy.
The savingstatus setting operation needs about 2 minutes to
take effect. (The used time depends on the hardware type)
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.
dsavingstatus={on-norm | on-maxp | 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)
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'. This is the switch to turn on or turn off the
power capping function.
cappingwatt=watt
Set the power capping value base on the watt unit.
If the 'watt' > maximum of I<cappingmaxmin> or 'watt'
< minimum of I<cappingmaxmim>, the setting operation
will be failed.
cappingperc=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.
cappingmaxmin
Query the maximum and minimum of power capping value
which 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 power
capping 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 a 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 processor frequency. (Unit is MHz)
syssbpower
Query the system power consumed prior to power on.
(Unit is MHz)
sysIPLtime
Query the time used from FSP standby to OS standby.
(Unit is Second)
=head1 B<RETURN VALUE>
0 The command completed successfully.
1 An error has occurred.

The output of the query operation:
CEC1: savingstatus: off
CEC1: cappingstatus: on

3. Turn on the power saving function of CEC1.
B<renergy> CEC1 savingstatus=on
The output of the setting operation:
CEC1: Set savingstatus succeeded.
CEC1: This setting may need some minutes to take effect.
4. Set the power capping value base on the percentage of the
max-min capping value. Here, set it to 50%.
B<renergy> CEC1 cappingperc=50
If the maximum capping value of the CEC1 is 850w, and the
minimum capping value of the CEC1 is 782w, the Power Capping
value will be set as ((850-782)*50% + 782) = 816w.
The output of the setting operation:
CEC1: Set cappingperc succeeded.
CEC1: cappingvalue: 816
