Power Policy

A Power Policy controls how power is managed across UCS chassis and servers: PSU redundancy mode, power budgeting, dynamic rebalancing, and power restore behavior after an outage. It is applied to servers via a Server Profile Template.

Examples

Example-1: The example below demonstrates a power policy configured for grid redundancy with a fixed power budget.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrganization
        policies:
          power:
            - name: web-power
              description: Power policy for web servers
              redundancy_mode: Grid
              allocated_budget: 2000
              power_restore_state: LastState
              power_save_mode: Enabled
              tags:
                - key: env
                  value: prod

Example-2: The example below demonstrates a minimal power policy using all defaults (grid redundancy, no budget cap).

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrganization
        policies:
          power:
            - name: default-power
