Hi Fellow Skunks, I am hoping those who had a chance to watch the webcast on IPv6 had an informative and insightful session. However, I would like need opinions on an issue with a server, *purely power based*. *What we have:* HP ML 370 G6 server, Win2k8, 64bit, 1 PSU 8 CPUs (2 cores, each quadcore), 8GB RAM, 8 HDD APC SC1500 UPS, protecting my above server *Scenario:* When power interruption occurs (low voltage/brownout/blackout), then server goes off immediately, this means its not protecting the server. For a blackout, we have to wait for mains power to resume before we proceed with anything For a low voltage (dim), the server power button gives an orange LED, meaning we have to wait until sufficient power resumes (Voltage analysis shows the server will only remains ON when there is mains power input of
235 Vrms to UPS. Am told server is basically pulling in more power then the UPS can supply...
****Another ML 370 G5 with similar spec.s has no issues, its well protected withe same UPS model and doesn't go off* in any of the power interruptions *What I have tried:* 1. APC PowerChute software for managing the UPS doesn't options for changing power settings, i.e supply volatge and power to the server 2. I have looked for that power option to select Balanced power mode, assuming its on high performance and which makes the server require higher power (from Windows server) What should I do to ensure the server is protected? And does disabling the hyperthreading option in setup help? Any power settings that I need to change, and how....? -- Regards, Greg -------- Life is not a rehearsal, you only live once!
hi, about the power issue the ups is the i guess is the slim one. this kind of a ups is used online.......it only supports your server when the power is available just to make susre that if there is a power surge the power supply for your server is not brown out. you need to get the ups that is able to support even after the black out. --- On Wed, 6/6/12, Gregory Okoth <gregory.okoth@gmail.com> wrote: From: Gregory Okoth <gregory.okoth@gmail.com> Subject: [Skunkworks] HP ML 370 G6 Server : Power Related Issue To: "Skunkworks Mailing List" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> Date: Wednesday, June 6, 2012, 10:07 AM Hi Fellow Skunks, I am hoping those who had a chance to watch the webcast on IPv6 had an informative and insightful session.
