I have a question for Phil or Andy with regards to power protection. The 7110 SAN is being powered though a UPS and direct mains, the question I have is in the event of power outage the SAN will have a sudden power loss. The servers accessing the disks should have powered down before this happens so disk access will be nonexistent but is this good for the SAN? Should an agent be loaded onto the SAN to do a graceful shutdown? I currently have APC UPS's with the network management card and the switch protected but the UPS also! Any advice or guides much appreciated. Thanks, Rob

Not sure how long its been out but they have sorted PowerChute to work with Hyper-V, ESX etc. for free rather than charging a bunch extra for it. Good stuff APC, it took a while but you did fix it. Software / Firmware=

Hi All, Can anyone give me a rough guide as to how many servers I can have running on a single APC 1000 smart UPS? Currently I have two servers sat on it running fine but would also like to add our new Dell server to it (and it has 2 psu's for redundancy).

We have an APC Smart UPS which currently is failing to run it's self test, when running via the control panel on the UPS itself it refuses to run. When ran via PowerChute it runs for several hours and eventually fails. Does this sound like a failing battery? it still seems to be able to support a load Any help is greatly appreciated

A couple of our APC UPSs have recently died, and while looking for replacements I've come across a rather well specced Delta Gaia UPS which is half the price of the equivalent capacity APC Smart-UPS. On paper the Delta looks to be higher spec than the APC (Double Conversion as opposed to Line Interactive (Unfortunately that's as far as my UPS knowledge goes)), but since I've not come across Delta Electronics before, and the price difference is so large I'm a little wary. Does anyone have any experience of Delta Gaia UPSs, or Delta Electronics in general? Or are there any reasons the Delta would be inferior to the APC?

Hi, We have a DELL Power edge 2900 with a few SCSI drives in it and an external USB hard drive for some backup. Could someone recommend a UPS that would be suitable for this machine? Since having new SCSI drives put in our old UPS can't handle the load anymore. J x
