IPMI Power Measurement

TL:DR

ipmicfg  -nm oemgetpower
#or 
ipmi-oem intelnm get-node-manager-statistics
#or
ipmi-dcmi --get-system-power-statistics
#or
ipmitool -H ipmihost -U root -P root delloem powermonitor

One of those will probably work?

Intel

Requirements:

• ME enabled BIOS
• PMBus 1.1/1.2 spec compliant power supply

Dell

Dell DRAC has its own thing, but you can also use ipmi:

ipmi-oem intelnm get-node-manager-statistics

For some reason on my Dell this does not work:

ipmi-oem dell get-power-consumption-data

or

ipmitool -H ipmihost -U root -P root delloem powermonitor

This also works for some reason:

ipmi-dcmi --get-system-power-statistics

I guess because it is dell and intel?
