Description
The xCAT energy management plugin gives the administrator of POWER clusters the ability to query and change the power settings for each server. The actions are invoked via an xCAT command called renergy which can be used in scripts or directly from the command line. The command can be run against multiple POWER servers in one invocation and will fan out the requests as efficiently as possible.
The xCAT-pEnergy-1.1-2.1 is the version which can support following Power machines:
Prerequisite
The xCAT-pEnergy can only be used together with the xCAT product. xCAT-pEnergy works as a plugin of the xCAT product. The xCAT 'renergy' command is the external interface for the customer to query or set energy management options for the Power system.
This package depends on two open source libraries curl and libxml2. Both of them should be installed before installing the xCAT-pEnergy.
This version of Energy Management Plugin requires xCAT 2.7.9 or later.
For the new supported hardware and functions of each xCAT release, please refer to the release notes of xCAT.
How to use
Run 'man renergy' on the xCAT management node to show the energy options for the specific Power hardware that can be queried or set by the xCAT-pEnergy package.
