Policy Priority Levels
When you create or update a policy, you can select different priority levels for
each device/group. For example, you can set priority levels based on the
service level agreements associated with workloads running on a device/group.
Power Center tends to reserve more power to the devices/groups with higher
priority when the power cap for devices/groups is not fully utilized.
