SetPower Enterprise Manager

SetPower Enterprise Manager allows you to schedule your power consumption around your needs. This saves energy and money. SetPower Enterprise Manager will not preclude you from using your machine at any time. By using SSetPower Enterprise Manager you can significantly reduce your PC’s power consumption when compared to leaving it on all the time. SetPower Enterprise Manager will even wake your machine for you, saving you time each morning when you sit down to work. The Enterprise Manager will be used to configure Power Schedules and Rules that will associate computers to those schedulesSetPower Enterprise Manager allows you to schedule your power consumption around your needs.

Your organization’s IT admin uses Software Center to install applications, software updates, and upgrade Windows. This user guide explains the functionality of Software Center for users of the computer.

Software Center is installed automatically on Windows devices that your IT organization manages. To get started, see How to open Software Center.

General notes about Software Center functionality:

• This article describes the latest features of Software Center. If your organization is using an older but still supported version of Software Center, not all features are available. For more information, contact your IT admin.
• Your IT admin may disable some aspects of Software Center. Your specific experience may vary.
• If multiple users are using a device at the same time, the user with the lowest session ID will be the only one to see all available deployments in Software Center. For example, multiple users on a remote desktop environment. Users with higher session IDs may not see some of the deployments in Software Center. For example, the users with higher session IDs may see deployed Applications, but not deployed Packages or Task Sequences. Meanwhile the user with the lowest session ID will see all deployed Applications, Packages, and Task Sequences. The Users tab of Windows Task Manager shows all users and their session IDs.
• Your IT admin may change the color of Software Center, and add your organization’s logo.

Supermicro Update Manager (SUM) is used for managing and configuring the BIOS/BMC firmware for Supermicro X9 generation motherboards and above. As a CLI (Command Line Interface) utility, SUM is able to execute parallel commands from a centralized management server. Two channels are available for management: the OOB (Out-of-Band) channel for communication through the BMC/IPMI interface, and the In-Band channel for communication through the local system interfaces. Through the OOB channel, most management commands can be executed independently of the OS on the managed system and even without OS installed. SUM supports Linux, Windows, and FreeBSD. Thin Agent Service (TAS) is required for some functions.

The RESTful Interface Tool (iLOREST) is a command-line interface that allows you to manage Hewlett Packard Enterprise products that take advantage of RESTful APIs. For this release of the tool, you can manage HPE Gen10 servers running iLO 5 version 2.10 or later and Gen9 servers running iLO 4 version 2.10 or later through iLO RESTful APIs. You can install the tool on your computer for remote use or you can install the tool locally on a server with a Windows OS or Linux OS. In addition to using the tool manually to execute individual commands, you can create scripts to automate tasks.

Fixes:

• Fixed issues serverclone command w.r.t automatic cloning of password.
• Fixed incorrect json outputs for installset and serverinfo commands to help in automation scripts.
• Fixed issues in ipprofiles command to aid in Intelligent Provisioning Job execution.
• Fixed issues in iscsiconfig –list command.
• Fixed an issue in directory show command to correctly show iLO Object Distinguished Name.
• Fixed an issue in securitystatus command with credentials security.

Feature Enhancements:

• Added support to manage Compute Ops Manager which abstracts and orchestrates infrastructure and compute workflows.
• Added support to enable/disable enhanced download capability to ethernet command.

  The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) assists in hardware monitoring and troubleshooting. The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is a micro-controller and the major component of the IPMI sub-system. BMC has both an Ethernet interface and a directly attached interface to the chip-set on the motherboard. Such a configuration allows access to the micro-controller directly (from the hypervisor) or remotely over LAN (from Controller VM).

  This article provides examples of using IPMI tools from a hypervisor perspective. Execute all the ipmitool commands from the Controller VM (CVM) on all the supported hypervisors. Authentication information must be specified together with lanplus specification.

  Prerequisite

  Power Profile is set to Custom.

  1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) > Power Management > Power Regulator and press Enter.
  2. Select a setting and press Enter.
     1. Dynamic Power Savings Mode—Automatically varies processor speed and power usage based on processor utilization. This mode uses an ROM-based algorithm to monitor processor activity. It can reduce overall power consumption with little or no impact to performance, and does not require OS support.
     2. Static Low Power Mode—Reduces processor speed and power usage. Guarantees a lower maximum power usage for the system. This mode is useful in environments where power availability is constrained and it is critical to lower the maximum power use of the system.
     3. Static High Performance Mode—Processors run in the maximum power and performance state, regardless of the OS power management policy. This mode is useful in environments where performance is critical and power consumption is less important.
     4. OS Control Mode—Processors run in their maximum power and performance state at all times, unless the OS enables a power management policy.
