I can't help it when the primary name server goes down because the UPS fails the self test and tells the server it has 2 minutes or so left in wich case the server figures it needs to shut down. I wanted better UPSs ...
critical infrastructure servers should have redudant PSUs, on seperate UPSs.
my last rack builds, I had 2 Eaton PowerWare 7KVA 4U UPS's in the bottom of each rack. one fed the left side PDUs, the other fed the right side PDUs, and each server had redundant PSU's, one plugged into each PDU. those Eaton UPS's had hotswappable batteries, too.
*shrug* All UPSes have hot-swappable. Mine beep while you disconnect the batteries, pull out the sled, replace all 8, shove it back in, and reconnect, and it shuts up.
For those that haven't done it, though, DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT ANYONE SAYS, DO NOT USE *ANYTHING* BUT HR (high rate) batteries in a UPS (maybe in a home one, but...). APC, for example, simply stays red, and insists that you still need to change them. *Good* battery vendors know this.
