4 IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager Version 3.1.1 Release Notes
Chapter 3. New in this release
Active Energy Manager 3.1.1 provides a number of new features and
enhancements since the previous release, version 3.1.

Metering Devices folder

Previously, an Intelligent PDUs (ac) folder, or node, existed in the navigation pane
of the Active Energy Manager console. In version 3.1.1, this folder has been
replaced by a Metering Devices folder. This folder contains both PDU+s and
SynapSense sensor nodes.

Support for SynapSense sensor nodes

Support has been added for SynapSense sensor nodes, which create a wireless
sensor network architecture. These nodes can be placed in proximity to each other
and to a gateway node, which is connected to a computer and collects data from
the wireless sensor nodes at configured intervals. Active Energy Manager monitors
these nodes through the SynapSense SNMP agent, collecting and trending power
and temperature data they report, and SNMP traps they generate. This release only
provides monitoring. It does not support association of other devices with
SynapSense sensors, nor does it allow configuration of SynapSense sensor
networks from within Active Energy Manager.

Exporting data

Current data

The exporting of current data has been enhanced. All tables in view are exported
for all devices, except for BladeCenter chassis. For BladeCenter chassis, the tables
for chassis, power domain and slot are exported.

Trend data

The exporting of chart trend data has been enhanced. All data in the Trend Data
pane of the Active Energy Manager console are exported when the data is
exported as a JPEG file.

Managing collection of trend data

Polling interval

The polling interval for the collection of historical trend data can now be set
globally for all objects, as well as individually for Active Energy Manager objects,
which override the global settings.

Number of days to keep trend data

You can specify the number of days to store trend data on the Server tab of the
Preference window.

© Copyright IBM Corp. 2007, 2008 5

 Active Energy Manager console refresh rate

You can set the rate, in minutes, at which the Active Energy Manager console is
automatically refreshed.

Event Viewer

You can view Active Energy Manager events in the Active Energy Manager Event
Viewer. The Event Viewer can be used to display SNMP trap events from
Emerson-Liebert SiteScan, PDU+s,, and SynapSense devices.

Support for additional PDU+s

Support has been added for additional intelligent power distribution units (PDU+).
A PDU+ is an electrical device that controls power distribution, provides circuit
protection, and monitors power use of attached devices and temperature of the
surrounding environment. A PDU+ can also enable power and thermal monitoring
for legacy systems that don’t have those capabilities. The supported PDU+s are a
form of power strip into which the hardware in a rack environment can be
plugged.

The following additional PDU+s are supported with the release of Active Energy
Manager 3.1.1:
v IBM Ultra Density Enterprise PDU C19 PDU+ (71762MX)
v IBM Ultra Density Enterprise PDU C19 3 phase 60A PDU+ (71763MU)

12 IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager Version 3.1.1 Release Notes
Chapter 6. Known problems
This section contains information about Active Energy Manager 3.1 limitations,
problems and workarounds.

Limitations
Use this topic to learn about known limitations in Active Energy Manager 3.1.1.
v The Min/Max power readings shown in the user interface are representative of
measurements made within the rack-mounted server. Some external AC power
meters may not be able to capture or display the same peaks as are displayed
using the Active Energy Manager power meter due to differences such as the
averaging periods of the Active Energy Manager power meter, the averaging
periods of the external power meter, and the filtering behavior of your power
supply.
v On Windows®, saving exported data to a network share that is not mapped to a
drive letter is not supported. When using the File → Export function, you must
specify a local disk or a network share that is mapped to a drive when saving
the exported data.
v Demand Based Switching does not work on BladeCenter HS20 (machine type
8843).
v Power information on BladeCenter systems is refreshed at a default rate of once
every 10 minutes. Power values for blades in such a system will therefore not be
updated more frequently than every 10 minutes, regardless of the rate at which
Active Energy Manager is set to poll (once a minute, by default).
v The Advanced Management Module (AMM) displays information on allocated
power and the power capping range for an individual blade. The allocated
maximum power, which Active Energy Manager refers to as the nameplate
power of a blade, is not the worst case maximum amount of power that a blade
will utilize but is a typical maximum power across various configurations. This
maximum allocated power is used by the AMM to budget for a given blade a
typical maximum power in order to determine if a given blade will fit within
the domain’s power budget and be allowed to power on. The maximum power
in the power capping range will be different than the allocated maximum power.
v PDU+s should only be added to one IBM Director Server for Active Energy
Manager power monitoring. Adding the same PDU+ to multiple IBM Director
Servers could cause PDU+ min/max power averages to be incorrect.
v Some PDU+ models may have an environmental monitoring probe (EMP)
attached, to measure temperature and humidity external to the PDU+ itself.
Active Energy Manager 3.1.1 does not support monitoring EMPs. Therefore,
temperature shown in Active Energy Manager for a PDU+ device is that of its
internal temperature sensor. You can use the IBM DPI web interface to view the
EMP temperature and humidity if needed. Future versions of Active Energy
Manager may include the ability to monitor EMPs.
v If hot-swappable components are added to or removed from a System x server
while it is powered on, the minimum and maximum cap values displayed by
Active Energy Manager will not be updated until the next reboot. If components
are hot-plugged into a System x server while it is powered on, the server may
consume more power than previously expected, and the server may therefore
not be able to throttle power consumption all the way down to the displayed

© Copyright IBM Corp. 2007, 2008 13

 minimum cap value. If the currently set cap value is lower than the server can
enforce, the cap value may be exceeded under some circumstances.
v If, from within the Active Energy Manager console, your action causes a dialog
to appear, neither the main Active Energy Manager window nor the IBM
Director Console window will be accessible while that dialog is open. Complete
the action for which the dialog opened, and dismiss the dialog; then the other
windows will again be responsive.
v All Current Data information for SynapSense sensor nodes and sensors is read
from the SynapSense SNMP Agent that is configured in IBM Director, and
displayed in Active Energy Manager. There is no way to set these data, such as
location or description, through Active Energy Manager. To edit these settings,
when possible, you must use the interface that came with your SynapSense
hardware.
v Deleting a System z HMC from the IBM Director Console will remove all the
Active Energy Manager System z servers and their data. If any of the System z
servers are associated with another System z HMC, they will be rediscovered
either upon the next re-start of IBM Director or upon Active Energy Manager’s
next discovery cycle occurs, which occurs once every 25 minutes.
v When monitoring power use of a system through an HMC, the load on the
HMC can determine how quickly Active Energy Manager can poll for power
data. If there is a heavy load on the HMC, such as when multiple IBM Director
Servers are communicating with the HMC, polling in Active Energy Manager
may experience delays. When this happens, you may see the time between polls
of endpoint managed objects appear longer than the polling interval for those
objects, sometimes much longer. If this occurs, check the load on the HMC, and
reduce it if quicker polling is required.
v Currently, when you select any blade server in IBM Director Console, and then
start Active Energy Manager, Active Energy Manager will show the entire
BladeCenter and all that is contained within it. There is no way to display only
specific blades in Active Energy Manager.

Known problems and workarounds

Use this topic to troubleshoot known problems and workarounds for Active
Energy Manager.

Active Energy Manager not appearing in IBM Director

Active Energy Manager will not work on a system that had IBM Director installed
using the Express install option of IBM Director.

Problem

The Active Energy Manager functions may not appear in the IBM Director Console
if IBM Director was installed using the Express installation of IBM Director. Full
operation of Active Energy Manager requires prerequisites that only a custom
installation of IBM Director provides.

Investigation

In order for IBM Director extensions such as Active Energy Manager to function
properly, you must install IBM Director using the Standard installation option.

14 IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager Version 3.1.1 Release Notes
Active Energy Manager properties are not saved across
sessions on Linux
On Linux, previously defined property settings are not saved across Active Energy
Manager sessions when the user does not have proper authority on the operating
system.

Problem

On Linux, the Active Energy Manager properties are not saved across Active
Energy Manager sessions when the user does not have proper authority on the
operating system. For example, the price/kwh settings in the Watt-Hour Meter
dialog is not saved from one session to the next.

Investigation

To save Active Energy Manager properties across Active Energy Manager sessions,
ensure that the operating system account you use has local root authority.
Alternatively, you can change the permissions on the <director
path>/classes/PowerExecutive/PowerExecConsole.properties file to enable
read/write access.

Active Energy Manager tasks do not launch

Active Energy Manager tasks do not launch from the IBM Director Console.

Problem

Active Energy Manager tasks appear in the IBM Director Console, but they do not
execute when clicked.

Investigation

This can occur when a system has IBM Director Console installed, but does not
have Active Energy Manager console installed. Active Energy Manager console and
IBM Director Console must both be installed in order to be able to complete Active
Energy Manager tasks through IBM Director Console.

Error 1603: Error installing Windows Installer engine

You receive a Windows Installer engine error when attempting to install Active
Energy Manager.

Problem

During the installation of Active Energy Manager, the following message is

displayed:

1603: Error installing Windows Installer engine. A file which needs to be

replaced may be held in use. Close all applications and try again.

Investigation

Click OK and continue the installation. If this does not solve the problem, one or
more of the following fixes may resolve the error:
1. Insufficient disk space
Increase your hard disk space.

Chapter 6. Known problems 15

 2. Temp directory is not clean
Clean the Temp directory.
3. A certain file on the machine is locked
Close all applications running in the background. Reboot your computer. Run
the installation again.
4. Use Microsoft’s Windows Installer Cleanup utility to remove traces of previous
installations.
This utility does not remove files installed by the installation, which may need
to be removed manually. For more information, refer to Microsoft’s Knowledge
Base.

Error: Device is not supported by Active Energy Manager:

<system name>
You get an error message about a device not being supported by Active Energy
Manager on a system known to support Active Energy Manager.

Problem

Active Energy Manager displays the following message: The following device is
not supported by Active Energy Manager: <system name> on a system known to
support Active Energy Manager

Investigation

The system may have an advanced management module (Service Processor [SP]),
which has its own Ethernet port, and, therefore, its own IP address. Director will
talk to this SP. But, this SP does not have Active Energy Manager support. Only
the on-board Base Management Controller (BMC) has Active Energy Manager
support. The BMC is on the system board and it shares the Ethernet port with the
system. For Active Energy Manager to display the system, you must configure the
BMC from the F1 BIOS Setup screen.

Exporting data to a network share fails

On Windows, saving exported data to a network share may fail.

Problem

On Windows, saving exported data to a network share may sometimes fail with an
error stating that the file already exists even though it may have been deleted on
the actual share. In addition, Active Energy Manager does not support the saving
of exported data to a Windows network share that is not mapped to a drive letter.

Investigation
v Use a different filename to export data or reboot the machine to clean the
network file cache information.
v Save your exported data to a Windows network share that is mapped to a drive
letter.

16 IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager Version 3.1.1 Release Notes
Full Scale Power exceeded on HS21 and HS41 blade servers
when running high performance computing applications
The maximum value that the power meter circuit can measure, called Full Scale
Power (FSP), can be exceeded on fully configured HS21 and HS41 blade servers
when running high performance computing applications.

Problem

The HS21 and HS41 blade servers have a known limitation in their power meter
hardware. The maximum value that the power meter circuit can measure, FSP, can
be exceeded on fully configured servers when running high performance
computing applications. Under such operating conditions, the measured power
displayed by the Active Energy Manager console will remain saturated at FSP and
will not reflect the actual power drawn by the blade. Additionally, setting the
power capping limit to a value higher than FSP may lead to a failure in capping
server power, under such operating conditions. The maximum value of the power
capping limit is based on nameplate power of the blade server and is higher than
the FSP.

Investigation

Do not set power capping limit above FSP. The FSP value is 388 W (246 W for
blade hardware Rev 4). Throttling may occur when capping the system at FSP in
this case. If throttling is not desired, do not enable power capping for this
configuration.

Installation of Active Energy Manager fails on Windows Server

2003
The installation of Active Energy Manager on Windows Server 2003 with SP1 and
Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition requires all Windows Installer hotfixes to be
installed.

Problem

The installation of Active Energy Manager on Windows Server 2003 with SP1 and
Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition may fail if all Windows Installer hotfixes are not
installed.

Investigation

To correct this problem, download and install MS KB 898715 to upgrade the

installer to version 3.1 v2. You can then install Active Energy Manager .

License fails on Linux

On Linux systems, the Active Energy Manager license may fail if a compatible
libstdc++ runtime package is not installed.

Problem

The Active Energy Manager licensing on Linux systems fails.

Investigation

Ensure that you have a compatible level of the compat-libstdc++ runtime package.

Chapter 6. Known problems 17

 License information not updating
After installing or uninstalling the Active Energy Manager license, the license
status information is not updated in Active Energy Manager.

Problem

After you install or uninstall the Active Energy Manager license, the license status
will not be updated until you restart IBM Director Server.

Investigation

Restart IBM Director Server and Active Energy Manager, then click Help→About to
view the updated license status information.

Power capping fails on HS20 server blades

On HS20 server blades, a failure in power capping may occur when power
capping value is within 20W of the minimum power capping value.

Problem

On HS20 server blades, there is a known limitation on setting power capping at or

close to minimum power capping value on fully configured servers when running
high performance computing applications. A failure in power capping may occur
when power capping value is within 20W of the minimum power capping value.

Investigation

Do not set power capping limit within 20W of the minimum power capping value
in these configurations.

SynapSense sensor nodes do not appear in Active Energy

Manager
After adding a SynapSense SNMP Agent to IBM Director, the sensor nodes that
report through that agent do not appear in Active Energy Manager, and an event is
logged. The event appears in both the Active Energy Manager event log, and in
the IBM Director event log, and notes that an SNMP general error occurred, and
refers to the SNMP version used.

Problem

Active Energy Manager uses advanced SNMP functions for efficiently gathering
data from SynapSense SNMP agents. These advanced SNMP functions are not
supported in SNMP version 1. Therefore, SynapSense sensor nodes and sensors
cannot be discovered and added to Active Energy Manager if verion 1 of SNMP is
used. Although the advanced functions are available in SNMP version 3, there is a
known issue with IBM Director’s SNMP provider such that some of these functions
may fail when SNMP version 3 is used.

Investigation

If you configured the SynapSense SNMP agent to use SNMP version 1, change its
properties so it uses SNMP version 2. If you need the security that SNMP version 3
provides, you can try specifying that version instead, but it might not work. If it
does not, either try SNMP version 2c, or contact IBM to see if a fix to the IBM

18 IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager Version 3.1.1 Release Notes
 Director SNMP version 3 problem is available.

Systems not appearing in Active Energy Manager

Systems are not being displayed in the Active Energy Manager console on a
system known to support Active Energy Manager.

Problem

Active Energy Manager doesn’t display any systems even though the system that
has Active Energy Manager installed supports Active Energy Manager

Investigation

Active Energy Manager only communicates out of band through the network to
the management processor on the system. Even though you have one Ethernet
cable into the system on the Ethernet 1 port, you will have two IP addresses: one
for the on board BMC and one for the operating system. For Active Energy
Manager to display the system on which it is installed, you must add the BMC
address to IBM Director as a Physical Platform.

If any devices were selected in IBM Director Console when you started Active
Energy Manager, only those systems will appear in Active Energy Manager. If you
want all devices displayed in Active Energy Manager, either select them all, or
de-select them all, in the IBM Director Console, then start Active Energy Manager
again.
