    Hi,

    This should explain all: http://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/techpaper/hpm-performance-vsphere55-white-paper.pdf

    Brief summary is that with an HPE server if you set the HP Power Profile to Custom and the HP Power Regulator to OS Control Mode then you can control the servers Power Management settings from within vCenter - most recommendations tend to have you just set the power settings to Maximum Performance and then use Distributed Power Management to shut down idle hosts to "save" power :

    Kind regards.
