Hi,

I have 2 clusters using Dell PowerEdge R650,neither of the 2 clusters shows power usage

In vCenter, power usage is available

sexigraf: 0.99j
vCenter: 8.0.2 (23319993)
VMware ESXi, 8.0.2, 23305546

Thanks in advance

is there another log I can check?

[MrDpy]

Hi,
I don't know if this helps, but searching in closed issues, I found this issue : #342
I ran the commands, and got the same results
#342 (comment)
#342 (comment)

[rschitz]

Interesting, thanks a lot running the commands, i wanted to ask you to do it. I got some Dell servers so I'll try to reproduce your setup, what version of ESX and what image you're running?

[MrDpy]

Dell PowerEdge R650
ESXi Version | 8.0 U2b - 23305546 with Dell addon for PowerEdge Servers 802-A04
vCenter 8.0.2 / Build 23319993

[rschitz]

ok so the addon on top of the stock vmware iso not the dell iso right?

[MrDpy]

Yes, correct
The basic installation, in 8.0.1, was made using Dell iso, but updates via the Lifecycle Manager
Iit seems to me that I've never seen any data in power usage since I started using these servers.

edit:
I have 2x independent Dell R740xd (same esx version) if you want me to try some commands.

[rschitz]

not yet, i'd like to have the same setup as yours first but thanks.
can you share the image profile you got:

[MrDpy]

as requested

[rschitz]

Thanks, I'll apply this image

[MrDpy]

If it helps, with this little script, I get the power usage of one of the servers.

Connect-VIServer -server MyvCenter

$entity = Get-VMHost -Name MyServer
$stat = "power.power.average"

Get-Stat -Entity $entity -Stat $stat -Realtime -MaxSamples 1

Value : 555
Timestamp : 02.05.2024 20:38:40
MetricId : power.power.average
Unit : watt
Description : Current power usage
Entity : MyServer
EntityId : HostSystem-host-308352
IntervalSecs : 20

[rschitz]

Hi, Thanks for your feed back.
Get-stat is a cmdlet which is not very scalable that why we use the object views.
As you can see here, we use the same metric id but i believe it is the format returned that is different that's why i'm trying to reproduce your setup

[MrDpy]

Hi,
Thanks for the explanation
Sorry to force you to reproduce my setup to identify the problem
I hope you'll be able to find a solution

[rschitz]

no problem, thank you for your help also.
you're not the only one in this case so i need to know why ;)
