Power Monitoring and Management 297
Power Consumption data is not maintained across system resets and so will reset
back to zero on those occasions. The power values displayed are cumulative
averages over the respective time interval (previous minute, hour, day and week).
Since the Start to Finish time intervals here may differ from those of the Power
Tracking Statistics ones, peak power values (Max Peak Watts versus Max Power
Consumption) may differ.
Power Consumption
Displays the average, maximum, and minimum power consumption in the
system for the last minute, last hour, last day, and last week.
Average Power Consumption: Average over previous minute, previous
hour, previous day and previous week.
Max and Min Power Consumption: The maximum and minimum power
consumptions observed within the given time interval.
Max and Min Power Time: The time when the maximum and minimum
power consumptions occurred.
Headroom
System Instantaneous Headroom
displays the difference between the
power available in the power supply units and the system's current power
consumption.
System Peak Headroom
displays the difference between the power
available in the power supply units and the system's peak power
consumption.
Show Graph
Click Show Graph to display graphs showing the iDRAC6 Power and Current
Consumption in Watts and Amperes, respectively, over the last hour. The
user has the option to view these statistics up to a week before, using the
drop
-down menu provided above the graphs.
NOTE: Each data point plotted on the graphs represents the average of readings
over a 5 minute period. As a result, the graphs may not reflect brief fluctuations in
power or current consumption.
