Hi all -
We've got a planned power outage coming up next week (2 hours for a transformer upgrade). What do you all think, should I:
a) shut down servers before hand to ensure everything is safe?
b) leave it on and see if the UPS shutdown sequence I set up works?
My thought on B is that the UPS run time shows there's an hour available. The first, most non-critical servers, shutdown after 5 minutes. If it all works according to plan I should know before the battery runs out on critical servers if the shutdown commands work.
What would you do?
