[Jatin] I am still reading through the documentation of my server to find out the battery backup in it. Is there any command within the OS that i can use to find out this information ?
I've never heard of a UPS built into a server, every one I've ever seen has been external... the mains power cable(s) for the server are plugged into the UPS. The UPS communications can be over ethernet, or USB, or serial signaling cable, depending on what sort of UPS. for an example, in my lab, each of my two racks has a pair of 7KVA UPS's in the bottom of the rack. these UPS's also have network cards, and are plugged into my management LAN. for my servers to talk to these UPS's, I need to know the IP address that the UPS is configured for.
No , i was referring to the battery backup unit within the server. Since the server was installed by someone else across geographies i am not aware of its details. I have found that the server does not have a battery backup unit as seen from the output below:
********************************** [root@node-103 ~]# ls /proc/acpi/battery/ [root@node-103 ~]# **********************************
As of the UPS connectivity over LAN , I dont think this is done for the server that i am using currently.
Thanks Jatin
