Abstract
Power control for computer systems with multiple power supplies including receiving a first measurement of power supplied to a computer system by a first power supply; receiving a second measurement of power supplied to the computer system by a second power supply; calculating a total power supplied to the computer system by combining the first measurement of power supplied to the computer system by the first power supply and the second measurement of power supplied to the computer system by the second power supply; comparing the total power supplied to the computer system to a power threshold of the computer system; and in response to determining that the total power supplied exceeds the power threshold of the computer system, shutting off the first power supply.
