显示全部Starting with AEM v4 (4.1.1 is the latest release), you must install the AEM plug-in as part of an existing IBM Systems Director v6 configuration. There is no standalone AEM anymore.
IBM Systems Director will not gather any power utilization or temperature information from Power6 systems with the TPMD chip without the AEM plug-in installed. Or if it does gather monitoring information, there's no way of seeing it with AEM installed.
AEM has two main pieces:
1) Monitoring - this is free and will work beyond the 60-day trial period after initial installation
2) Managing - this is free only for the first 60 days, then you need to license the code to be able to enable Power Capping and Power Savings functionality for the capable Power6 systems.
In addition to that, you can use the base IBM Systems Director functions to automate the energy management, i.e. automatically turn things down at night, etc. Systems and group power capping policies are all part of the AEM plug-in.
Yes, IBM Systems Director does talk to the HMC via unpublished APIs for the monitoring and managing of power and temperature.
I am not aware of any method to get this information (with the exception of the above mentioned lshwinfo on the Enterprise boxes for temps) from the HMC command-line or GUI.
