I am getting a blade system in to our datacenter and I need to put all of the blades under load to test the power consumption. Is there an app out there that I can run off a livecd that will allow me to do this? Thanks in advance!

Don't know how much you need to monitor, but, http://www.ultimatebootcd.com is a bootable CD, and has some CPU testing tools which would certainly put the CPU under some heavy load.

I didn't use a livecd (I just installed a basic gentoo cli system on our new server) and used gimps. It's in portage.

The ultimate boot cd should have something that works. It has almost everything under the sun...

The sysresqcd contains cpuburn. It should fit your needs.
