Edit Power Consumption Probes
Use this window to edit warning thresholds for your system's power consumption. All values are measured in Watts.
NOTE: This help page
may include information about features not supported by your system.
Server Administrator only displays the features that are supported
on your system.

Edit Power Consumption Probes
NOTE: When assigning probe threshold values, Server Administrator rounds
the values you enter to the closest assignable value.
NOTE: When the power threshold
value (in watts) is set, then the passed value may differ from the
set value. For example, if you set the warning threshold to 1000 watts,
this value is stored as 994 watts.
Status | Indicates whether the event type for this probe is Normal/OK, Warning/Noncritical, or Critical/Failure. |
---|---|
Reading | Displays a snapshot of the power consumption measured by the probe at a given time. |
Failure Threshold | Displays the highest acceptable power consumption required for system operation. Power consumption that exceeds this value results in critical/failure events. |
Threshold Settings
Set to Default | Sets the power consumption value for a warning event
at the default value. NOTE: Systems that contain
embedded systems management (ESM3) capabilities do not allow you to
set warning threshold default values. |
---|---|
Set to Value | Allows power users and administrators to specify a
power consumption value that can trigger a warning event. If you select
this option, you will be able to enter values in either of the edit
boxes. If you enter a value in one box, the value in the other box
will get updated. For example, if you enter a value in the edit box
for watt, the BTU/hr value is displayed in the BTU/hr edit box. NOTE: You can set threshold
values for an external chassis to whole numbers only. If you attempt
to set the threshold value to a number that contains a decimal, only
the whole number before the decimal place is saved as the threshold
setting. |
Warning Threshold | Displays the acceptable power consumption value recommended for this system. Power consumption that exceeds this value results in warning events. |
Set Alert Actions
For information on how to set alert actions, see Set Alert Actions.
NOTE: Due to the limitations of the VMware ESXi operating system, the Setting
Alert Actions feature is not available with this release of Server
Administrator.

Action pages, see Server Administrator Window Buttons.
