3.5.2 STATUS MANAGEMENT

Device status includes Manual Maintenance and System Modification.

The device management status of manual maintenance includes: Learning Stage, Policy Enabled, Policy Forbidden and Unmanaged. This allows

delicate device management.

Leaning Stage: The device is at data initializing collection stage, preparing for loading appropriate policy. Through the observation on this stage, the

user can better understand the rule of power consumption of a server device.

Policy Enabled: The device is automatically set to "Enable Policy" status after learning stage. You can select corresponding policy as required. On the

basis of the power consumption during the learning status, the user can configure the best power consumption policy according to the rule of power

consumption. Smart Grid provides a variety of convenient settings approaches, please refer to the description in Section 3.7 Power Consumption

Control for details.

Policy Forbidden: confirm the devices that will not enable any power consumption policy, but will collect the power consumption and performance data

of the device.

Unmanaged: The device is not manageable by the system after being automatically discovered. Such devices neither collect power consumption nor

manage performance.

The status of system modification includes In Exception and Policy Enabled.

In Exception: The device status will be automatically set to In Exception by the system when power consumption of the device can't be collected. The

abnormal device can't be applied power consumption policy until it can normally collect power consumption.

Policy Enabled: The device status will be automatically set to Policy Enabled by the system when the power consumption control policy is enabled,

indicating that the device has added energy-saving policy.

1. The Conversion Process under Normal Device Status

Under normal circumstances, for power consumption control on server devices or device groups, it's required to toggle in the conversion process

under normal device status, i.e. to follow the process of "Device Discovery --> Learning Stage --> Enable Policy --> Policy Enabled". According to the

load changes during the server operation, the data collected from the original learning stage has not been able to accurately reflect the trend of power

consumption, at this moment one may reenter to the "Learning Stage" by changing the status from "Policy Enabled" or "Enable Policy" to conduct

power consumption data monitoring.
