Measures reported by LVXCPPStatTest

The availability of a server depends highly on its power policy which defines how the server will behave in case of power failure, power supply failure etc. Lonovo XClariy controller can help in management of server power policy, it helps configure redundancy during the event of power supply failue, configure power capping and restore policies. Since power policy is essential requirement for ensuring maximum availability of the server, it is absolutely important for administrators to monitor power policy, and ensure power policy is configured and active all the time.

This test monitors the server for power policy and reports the metrics like power usage of server and status of power policy.

Outputs of the test: One set of results for each power policy active on the server.

Descriptor: power policy

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
usage Indicates the current power usage of the server as a percentage of maximum power usage. Percentage

You need to ensure that power usage stays within the optimal limits. If the power usage is reaching towards 100%, it might be indicator of high load on server.

activate Indicates the current status of power policy.  

If the current power policy is disabled, that means in case of any power failure server will go to default settings which might be catastrophic. You need to ensure that power policy status is as expected.
