UPS Utility Manual
3.5.2.10 Powerfail Command File
This field shows the current state of the UPS Monitor's "powerfail command file" execution, which occurs only if a
powerfail command file has been configured and there has been a UPS device
power failure that has persisted for longer
than the "powerfail grace period" time.
Possible values of this field are:
o
Not Running
- The powerfail command file is dormant. Either there is no powerfail command file configured (see the
Powerfail Command File Name field of the status display to determine
this), or there is no UPS power failure in progress
lasting longer than the powerfail grace period time.
o
Running
- The configured power fail command file is now being executed by the MPE/iX CI, due to a UPS
power failure
lasting longer than the power fail grace period time.
In this case, the previous field of the status display (Powerfail Grace Timer) will show that the grace period
timer has run
to completion, thus allowing the powerfail command file to begin execution.
o
Completed
- The powerfail command file has run to completion.
In this case, the date and time of command file
execution completion will be shown in the status display to the right of this field. The state of "Completed" and the
completion date and time will be maintained in the status display until either the UPS Monitor is re-
started, or until the
user invokes UPSUTIL's RESETPFAIL command to clear-
out the information regarding the powerfail command file
execution completion.
When UPS Monitor is restarted, or when the RESETPFAIL command is given in UPSUTIL, then
the powerfail command
file field
of the status display reverts back to "Not Running", and the date and time of the last command file execution are
erased.
3.5.2.11 Action on UPS Low Battery
This field shows the configured action to be taken by the UPS Monitor in case a UPS device signals "low battery charge
condition."
Possible values of this field are:
o
System
Abort
- The UPS monitor will invoke a particular System Abort in case
of low battery charge condition, to
ensure that there is no "partial write" on any disk device when the UPS output power does turn off.
o
Keep
Running
- The UPS monitor will NOT invoke a System Abort in case of UPS low battery charge condition.
Rather,
it will allow the HP3000 system to keep running in that condition.
3.5.2.12 Pin
The PIN field shows the PIN (Process Identification Number) of the UPS Monitor Process.
3.5.2.13 UPS Devices Configured
This field shows the number of UPS devices that have been configured into the system's I/O configuration, as detected by
the UPS Montitor Process during its start-up operations.
