Compaq R3000 UPS and Insight Manager?
We currently have numerous Compaq/HP R3000 UPS's that I have set up in
each rack that are attached to a UPS group controller server via serial cable. The UPS group members are "attached" to the group controller via TCP/IP. When I setup the compaq power agents, they defaulted to a 5 minute shutdown timer and a 90-second shutdown delay (buffer). I later went to Insight manager to tweak these servers to shutdown non-critical servers first and critical servers last. I was surprised to learn that these UPS's and Insight manager do not "interactively" monitor battery runtime based on load and battery condition during a power outage? I called Compaq support and was told that I just need to make a best guess on when to shutdown certain servers and in addition, there was no way to automatically power up these servers up after the power was restored. So if the power goes out for more than 20 minutes on a Friday night, I have to drive back to the office just to turn on all the servers? Anyone aware of a solution for Compaq Servers that can at the very least, power up the servers after the power has been restored? Thx. |
