"If you know about your downtime, then you can control anything."
UPS status server
for UPS
monitoring
software
In Department C2, three servers are supported by a shared UPS represented on the
network by a ManageUPS Net Adapter. Each server is administered separately and
requires individual automatic responses to power-fail conditions.
A copy of MopUPS P
ROFESSIONAL is installed on each server to monitor UPS status
via TCPIP and initiate individual shutdown scripts in the event of a prolonged AC
power failure.
At HQ.net, a facilities power systems manager is tasked with responsibility for power
systems in the building. A dedicated pair of UPS modules configured for parallel
redundant operation supports the data center.
The facilities manager runs a copy of the Special Edition of MopUPS for Parallel
Systems (M
OPUPS P/R EDITION) on a personal workstation. MopUPS collects
information from both UPS over the IP network, analyses changing load conditions
and other UPS module events that may affect redundancy or overall availability and
calls the manager's pager.
At Campus C
SUBNET, a backup-server is supported by a UPS shared with the
campus PABX, router/switch, e-mail server and other infrastructure devices located
in the campus communications center. Some of the backup server's clients are in
Department 2. The backup repository is the SAN (Storage Area Network) housed
remotely in the HQ data-center. The backup administrator wants to make sure all
three UPS are reporting normal power status before allowing the backup job to start.
A copy of MopUPS P/R is installed on the backup server to monitor the parallel UPS
supporting the SAN, the shared UPS supporting the servers in Department-2, and its
own Campus communications UPS. If any UPS system is reporting an AC fail
condition, MopUPS runs a command / script that pauses the backup scheduler until
all UPSs are reporting normal operating status.
