The OA maintains the overall enclosure cap by monitoring and managing the power consumption of the server blades To accomplish this the OA collects the overall enclosure power use and the total power used by the managed server blades From this data the OA constructs a blade power budget representing the amount of power that the blades can consume while keeping the overall enclosure power consumpt...
