Abstract
A mechanism is provided for power capping power consumption devices with multiple power supplies. A set of power supplies supplying power to a power consumption device having stranded power is determined. A power budget of one or more power supplies in the set of power supplies is adjusted to match a power budget of a power supply in the set of power supplies with a limiting power budget among the power budgets computed for each power supply in the set of power supplies. Responsive to identifying at least one power supply in the one or more other power supplies of one or more different power consumption devices having an initially allocated power budget below their corresponding demand, at least a portion of the stranded power is allocated to the power budget of the at least one power supply.
