RE: UPS trouble

["Neil Palmer" <neilp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes - had identical problem about 3 weeks after installing new 170 with
9910-140 UPS.  I just wrote the first instance off - annoyed as I was I
didn't have the time to follow up - but when it happened again about a week
later (and the other two unprotected systems in the room stayed up) I put
in a service call.
They shipped a replacement overnight and it's been OK since January.  I
suspect a production problem with some of the 9910's but of course they
wouldn't admit it.
I haven't followed up in detail, but I suspect that if you connect the CPM
(Continuously Powered Mainstorage) cables, that you need to specify a lower
value in QUPSDLYTIM.

That happened to me. After checking some sysvals that appeared to be ok, my
IBM UPS which is actually a BEST UPS model 9910, was voluntarily replaced
by
BEST.
I have tested the new UPS by removing the power source and all worked fine.
I am glad I have not had a "real" power outage.  However, I would like to
know if it really works.

Subject: UPS trouble

Last night about 23:30 my system (170) stopped....
When I came in this morning everything was dead.  Pressed the power
button on the UPS and all is well again.  (or maybe not).
The system looked as if someone pushed the power button on the UPS and
turned if off - but no one was in the building

The UPS is the one that is supplied with the system.  Has anybody heard
of this problem?
TIA

P.S.  the CPM feature appeared to work because I have Job logs from all
of the Jobs that were running at the Time the system crashed.
