Viewing UPS Status
A UPS provides power redundancy to a Storage Center with the use of a backup battery.
If the power to a Storage Center is cut o, the UPS immediately switches over to the battery giving a Storage Center administrator time to
properly power down the Storage Center or x the power issue. When the UPS switches to the battery, it sends an on battery message to
the Storage Center. The Storage Center registers the battery message as an alert, turns o write cache, and ushes the cache to disk. The
Storage Center continues to operate in this way until it shuts down or the UPS sends an online message allowing it to return to normal
operations.
