pwrprofile command

This command displays and configures power groups and schedules for compute nodes and I/O modules.

If command syntax is not correctly entered, or if a command fails to run, an error message is returned. See Common errors for a list of error messages that apply to all commands or pwrprofile command errors for a list of error messages that are specific to the pwrprofile command.

Add power schedule and assign to power group Adds a power schedule, assigned to a specific power group, with the specified name for the specified key group of compute nodes or I/O modules.
Important: The power group index must be the first command option specified (for example, pwrprofile -1 -add -s enabled -a on -f once -d 11202011 ).
Note:
  • The power group index, -s, -a, and -f parameters must be specified when creating a power schedule.
  • If the frequency (-f) is set to once, you must specify either a time (-t), a date (-d), or both a time and date. If only a date is specified, the scheduled action will take place when the system switches to the date indicated.
  • If the frequency (-f) is set to daily, you must specify a time (-t).
  • If the frequency (-f) is set to weekly, you must specify both a time (-t) and a day (-d).
  • Up to four power schedules can be assigned to a power group.
  • The index number for the power schedule is assigned automatically and can be seen in the "Display all power groups and schedules" list.
 pwrprofile -group_index -add -s status -a action -f freq -d day -t time

where:

  • where group_index is the index number that identifies the power group where this schedule will be applied. Index numbers are assigned automatically at group creation and can be seen in the "Display all power groups and schedules" list.
  • status is a power schedule status of enabled or disabled.
  • action is the power action to perform: on, off, cycle, or softoff.
  • freq is how often the schedule is applied: once, daily, or weekly.

Example:

To display information for all power profiles, while the primary CMM in bay 2 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[2]> prompt, type 
pwrprofile
To add a power profile named g1 that is keyed by bay number and includes the compute nodes in node bays 1 and 2, and the I/O module in I/O-module bay 3, while the primary CMM in bay 2 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[2]> prompt, type 
pwrprofile -add -n g1 -key by -servers blade(1,2),switch(3)
To add a power schedule to power group g1 (index 1) and enable this new power schedule that turns on the compute nodes in power group 1 once on 11 November 2011 at 11:11 AM, while the primary CMM in bay 2 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[2]> prompt, type 
pwrprofile -1 -add -s enabled -a on -f once -d 11202011 -t 1111
To delete power schedule 1, while the primary CMM in bay 2 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[2]> prompt, type 
pwrprofile -i 1 -clear

The following example shows the information that is returned from these commands:

system:mm[2]> pwrprofile
No group found
system:mm[2]>  pwrprofile -add -n g1 -key by -servers blade(1,2),switch(3)
Group 1 added
system:mm[2]>  pwrprofile

1. g1
   key: by
   servers: blade(1,2),switch(3)
   power schedules: Not Available

system:mm[2]>  pwrprofile -1 -add -s enabled -a on -f once -d 11202011 -t 1111
Power schedule 1 added
system:mm[2]>  pwrprofile

1. g1
   key: by
   servers: blade(1,2),switch(3)
   power schedules:

        -i 1
        -s enabled
        -a on
        -f once
        -d 11/20/2011
        -t 1111

system:mm[2]>  pwrprofile -i 1 -clear
OK
system:mm[2]>  pwrprofile
