I have a nameserver running 11.3-RELEASE-p4. It has a Supermicro X9SRi-F
motherboard in a 1U chassis with redundant PWS-406P-1R power supplies
(400W each).
Site power is out thanks to a PG&E "public safety power shutdown" and I
find that the system is really unhappy. It looks like it is
underclocking due to one power supply not being powered:
# sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq_levels dev.cpu.0.freq
dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 3001/80000 3000/80000 2900/75926 2700/69558
2600/65698 2500/62669 2400/59709 2200/53206 2100/50412 2000/46962
1800/41676 1700/38423 1600/35918 1500/33467 1300/28074 1200/25787
dev.cpu.0.freq: 1200
I found powerd and tried this:
powerd_enable="YES"
powerd_flags="-a max -b max -n max"
which works... once it's started. Now I'm finding one system has a
difficult time booting because powerd is started so late in the boot
process.
Is there a sysctl I can put in loader.conf to disable this underclocking
behavior?
Thanks!
Craig
