Real time power usage

Is there a tool that could give us real time power usage on a DMX 3000. I saw a post about Power Calculatior, but that doesnt sound like something that tells me what the unit is actually using. Our Data Center Mgr is trying to get a handle on what is using how much. Of course I would need to look into our CX3 and 48000 directors as well.

    Fairly certain the only way you are going to get this is to meter something directly on the PDUs or power drops where these are connected. This was something I remember trying to get from EMC a few years back and they were unable to produce any information on a DMX-3000 series.

    Not sure if you have in-house or contractor electricians, but this is something that an electrician should be able to do for you with minimal effort. The downside being that it would be a sampling and not a running collection.

    Be interesting to see if you get anything more detailed on this post.
