Overview

Dynamic Power Software (DPS) manages datacenter power through several key abstractions. Understanding these abstractions is essential for effectively using DPS.

Key Abstractions

Command-line Tools

• dpsctl

Physical Infrastructure

• Device Specifications

• Entities

• Topologies

Power Management

• Power Compliance

• Power Policies

• DPS Power Steering Controller

• Resource Groups

• Resource Group Priority

• Workload Power Profiles Settings

• MaxLPS Power Management

• Excursion Mitigation

• NvGrid

• Provisioned and Observed Power

User Management

• User Accounts

• Automation Accounts

Infrastructure

• RedFish API

• Base Command Manager

• Telemetry and Observability

Next Steps

• New to DPS? Start with Topologies to understand how DPS models datacenters

• Managing workloads? Learn about Resource Groups for dynamic power allocation, Resource Group Priority for steal and giveback ordering, DPS Power Steering Controller for automatic power redistribution, and Workload Power Profiles Settings for GPU optimization

• Sizing a deployment? Read Provisioned and Observed Power for why DPS lets you provision closer to your power envelope than static sizing allows

• Setting up hardware? Review Device Specifications and Entities

• Configuring access? Refer to User Accounts and Credentials Configuration
