Failure of power supplies, can we control what components switch off first?

[chuckk281]

Johan had a power supply question:

*************

If a customer loses several power supplies and he remains just with one or 2 power supplies, is there a way that we can manage which components are switched of first ? Servers, switches etc.

From David:

*************

Feature is called “Data Center Power Control” delivered by Insight Control power management which could allow you to prioritize which servers.  Interconnects don’t really have off switches…

**************

So, it looks like you would need to have the Insight Control software to make this happen. Any other comments or suggestions?
