System x Power Maximizer
System x Power Maximizer is an integrated software tool for determining the as-
configured total power budget for all new System x, Pure Flex, iDataPlex, and
NeXtScale systems. This technology takes a more granular approach of determining
system and chassis power budget than using look-up tables in system management
devices. The benefits of this allow power policies to be set based on actual
component power consumption under any supported operating condition or workload.
Power policies are able to be more accurately maintained without unnecessary over-
budgeting to ensure as much available power is provisioned by the system as the
policies allow. This prevents resiliency and performance impacts such as unexpected
throttling and system nodes powering off unexpectedly.
The System x Power Maximizer functions by running separate, sub-system specific
workloads and then calculates a total worst-case power consumption estimate. The
result of the System x Power Maximizer is reported to the respective management
interhttp://www.Systemx.com/systems/bladecenter/resources/powerconfig.htmlfac
e for determining power-on support and redundancy policy of the supported systems.
The System x Power Maximizer result is not directly reported to any user interface,
but the power policies are managed by this configuration specific power budget. This
means that as the configurations change, the enclosure will automatically manage the
provisioned power according to the power policy set by the end user.
