ups

[Dave Bunting]

a K460 experienced a power outage which lasted for several hours, based on ups_conf, shutdown_delay_min=10 min. The server was shutdown. and the power was restored after a few hours... will the system be brought up automatically [with no manual intervention]?

If the server was automatically brought up after power was restored, does it need a restart?

Thanks

Hi Dave,

Once a K class server has been shutdown it needs to have the power turned on manually by turning the key off, then on.

Even on the newer systems you would still need
manual intervention to start the server from
the GSP prompt from the lan console, or
equivalent.

Thanks Mike,
the server is booting up by itself when the power was restored. any more ideas where i should look? additional info:
-and my system is up, but my applications are having problems executing...
-my server is alive, and i can telnet to my machine
-bdf shows i have 90+ on my /

thanks again

Hi Dave,

For the application issues, suggest you
have a look in either the application
supplied log or even in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
mail for the application user, and
/etc/rc.log for any clues.

If / is 90% full you could have a problem.
Was the fileysystem 90% full before? There is
an old trick that used to happen, and that
was a backup being created to /dev/rmt/om
instead of /dev/rmt/0m. This would create
a large file and a lot of the time would fill
/
Another way is to look for core files and
files that are over 1mb. Using these commands
should assist in finding them.

# find / / -xdev -name core -print

# find / / -xdev -size +1000000c -print | xargs ll
