- Kernel driver ibmaem
- ======================
- Supported systems:
- * Any recent IBM System X server with Active Energy Manager support.
- This includes the x3350, x3550, x3650, x3655, x3755, x3850 M2,
- x3950 M2, and certain HS2x/LS2x/QS2x blades. The IPMI host interface
- driver ("ipmi-si") needs to be loaded for this driver to do anything.
- Prefix: 'ibmaem'
- Datasheet: Not available
- Author: Darrick J. Wong
- Description
- -----------
- This driver implements sensor reading support for the energy and power
- meters available on various IBM System X hardware through the BMC. All
- sensor banks will be exported as platform devices; this driver can talk
- to both v1 and v2 interfaces. This driver is completely separate from the
- older ibmpex driver.
- The v1 AEM interface has a simple set of features to monitor energy use.
- There is a register that displays an estimate of raw energy consumption
- since the last BMC reset, and a power sensor that returns average power
- use over a configurable interval.
- The v2 AEM interface is a bit more sophisticated, being able to present
- a wider range of energy and power use registers, the power cap as
- set by the AEM software, and temperature sensors.
- Special Features
- ----------------
- The "power_cap" value displays the current system power cap, as set by
- the Active Energy Manager software. Setting the power cap from the host
- is not currently supported.
