<span id="opal-powercap"></span><h1>OPAL Power Caps<a class="headerlink" href="#opal-power-caps" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>Each entity that can be power capped is described in the device tree,
see <a class="reference internal" href="../device-tree/ibm,opal/power-mgt/powercap.html#device-tree-ibm-opal-power-mgt-powercap"><span class="std std-ref">power-mgt/powercap</span></a>. The values for each
power cap aren’t in the device tree, but rather fetched using the
<a class="reference internal" href="#opal-get-powercap"><span class="std std-ref">OPAL_GET_POWERCAP</span></a> OPAL call. This is because there may be other
entities such as a service processor that can change the nature of the
power cap asynchronously to OPAL.</p>
<div class="section" id="opal-get-powercap">
<span id="id1"></span><h2>OPAL_GET_POWERCAP<a class="headerlink" href="#opal-get-powercap" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The OPAL_GET_POWERCAP call retreives current information on the power
cap.</p>
<p>For each entity that can be power capped, the device tree
binding indicates what handle should be passed for each of the power cap
properties (minimum possible, maximum possible, current powercap).</p>
<p>The current power cap must be between the minimium possible and maximum
possible power cap. The minimum and maximum values are dynamic to allow
for them possibly being changed by other factors or entities
(e.g. service processor).</p>
<p>The call can be asynchronus, where the token parameter is used to wait
for the completion.</p>

<div class="section" id="opal-set-powercap">
<span id="id2"></span><h2>OPAL_SET_POWERCAP<a class="headerlink" href="#opal-set-powercap" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The OPAL_SET_POWERCAP call sets a power cap.</p>
<p>For each entity that can be power capped, the device tree
binding indicates what handle should be passed for each of the power cap
properties (minimum possible, maximum possible, current powercap).</p>
<p>The current power cap must be between the minimium possible and maximum
possible power cap.</p>
<p>You cannot currently set the minimum or maximum power cap, and thus
OPAL_PERMISSION will be returned if it is attempted to set. In the
future, this may change - but for now, the correct behaviour for an
Operating System is to not attempt to set them.</p>
