Subject: [Kerr_b210-announce] Saturday Power issue

All,


I learned after the fact that we had a power event on Saturday that
affected power in B210.  I did see that the generator came on line, but I
did not get any alerts from the other units in that power chain.  Further
investigation revealed that one of the UPS suffered an inverter fault that
is likely the cause of some systems losing power.  While we monitor the
systems in B210 we did not receive any errors from the UPS themselves, so I
was not aware there had been an issue.

What is happening:

I have engaged the UPS maintenance service to investigate and repair the
faulty UPS.  I will also be talking with them about the logging and
notification failure of both units.
