fuelg command

This command displays power domain information, listing the power modules that are installed in the BladeCenter unit and information about how the power in each domain is used. This command also configures the power domain policies for oversubscription and quiet mode.

Function What it does Command Valid targets
Display power domain status overview Displays health status and total power usage information for all power domains fuelg
                           -T system
                        
Display detailed power domain status Displays detailed status and usage information for the specified power domains fuelg domain
where domain is:
  • pd1 for power domain 1.
  • pd2 for power domain 2.
  • If no domain is specified, a status overview for all power domains displays.
                           -T system
                        
Set power domain redundancy loss policy Sets how the BladeCenter unit responds to a condition that could cause a loss of redundant power. fuelg domain -os policy

where:

  • domain is:
    • pd1 for power domain 1.
    • pd2 for power domain 2.
    • If no domain is specified, the policy is applied to all power domains.
  • policy of:
    • none (default) allows loss of redundancy.
    • nonrecov prevents components from turning on that will cause loss of power redundancy.
    • recov power throttles components to maintain power redundancy and prevents components from turning on that will cause loss of power redundancy.

Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).

                           -T system
                        
Thermal event response (quiet mode) Sets how the BladeCenter unit blowers respond to thermal events. fuelg -qm setting

where the quiet-mode setting of:

  • off (default) allows blowers to increase speed to provide additional cooling.
  • on keeps blowers at a fixed speed and power throttles BladeCenter components to reduce power consumption (only for BladeCenter components that support power throttling).

Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).

                           -T system
                        
Example: To view a power domain status overview, while the BladeCenter unit is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type
                  fuelg
               
To reduce fan noise during thermal events for all power domains, while the BladeCenter unit is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type
                  fuelg -qm on
               
To view the detailed power domain status for power domain 1, while the BladeCenter unit is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type
                  fuelg pd1
               

The following example shows the information that is returned when the fuelg command is run.
