Rack and Power v1.0 : Redunancy

[Philip Sharp]

Has anyone setup a redundant Rack and POwer server configuration? We have successfully implemented Configuration E (Server with dual power supplies being feed from separate UPS's and acting on startup/ shutdwon control via an Ethernet Network) as outlined in the Rack and Power Manager User Guide. But with all this redundancy it is limited by the single point of failure of the Rack & Power server. If it is not running no startup or shutdown operations are possible. Hence I would be very interested if anybody is trying a simliar configuration.

Thanks
Phil

Philip,

Yes, the single point of failure issue and enhanced redundancy support are being addressed by HP. Unfortunately, I don't have information to when the new solution will be available.

Thanks,
Steve
