Keith, did you read the power problems IBM is having with their bladecenters using Xeons and (presumably) Power 5? www-1.ibm.com You gotta love that response -- "it's acting as it was designed..." Blade is not allowed to power on due to insufficient power - IBM eServer BladeCenter, BladeCenter HS20 Source RETAIN tip: H082286 Symptom When further IBM eServer BladeCenter HS20 blades are installed to a BladeCenter chassis configured with less than a full complement of blades and a "Redundant without Performance Impact" power policy, the following message appears: "Blade is not allowed to power on because of insufficient power". Affected configurations The system may be any of the following IBM eServers: * a BladeCenter, type 8677, any model * a BladeCenter HS20, type 8843, any model The 73E Firmware for the BladeCenter Management Module is affected. Solution None. The Blades and BladeCenter are working as designed and are not failing. This message is informing the user that the current power policy setting: "Redundant without Performance Impact" does not allow throttling and therefore does not meet the requirements to power on all the installed blades. A future release of the Management Module firmware will provide more descriptive messages to explain these power policy settings. The target release date for this firmware is the second Quarter 2005. ------------------------------------------------------------------- By the way, if you change the power policy to allow performance impact, it doesn't just enable EIST, it turns entire blades off. :) Petz
