Example #6
- Monitor Startup & UPS Initializations
This example illustrates what the STATUS display shows when the STATUS command is
given during the time that the
UPS Monitor Process is in its "start-up and initialize UPS devices" phase of processing.
In this example, the UPS Monitor Process had originally not been running, so a START command was given to start it.
Then, quickly, two STATUS commands were given, one after the other.
The first STATUS display shows that the UPS Monitor Process is now running (UPS Monitor Operating State is
"Running"), and that it is part way through the process of bringing the three UPS devices "online".
The display of UPS
DEVICES STATUS shows that all three UPS devices have been allocated successfully (Alloc = "Yes") by the UPS Monitor
Process, that the first UPS device (Ldev# = 22) has completed
its initialization sequence and is now being monitored (Init =
"Yes" and State = "Monitoring"), and that the other two UPS devices, Ldevs 23 and 24, are still in the process of being
initialized (Init = "No" and State = "Initializing").
Notice that until the initialization process has completed, the UPS Monitor Process does not have information from the
UPS device regarding its hardware status conditions. That is why the
Power and Hardware Status fields for UPS Ldevs 23
and 24 are shown as "???". A few seconds later, the second STATUS display shows that the initialization processing
has
been completed for all of the three UPS devices.
All three are now being monitored, and their Power and Hardware Status
fields are normal.
