One of my UPS went out (has a flaky controller) and then overloaded my other UPS\u2019 for my servers and took down my NAS storage I use iSCSI with, the ProLiant BL460c Gen8 blade servers I run the virtual environment of XCP-ng on as well as my ProLiant BL460c G7 I run my music from before streaming over my virtual relay music servers in XCP-ng.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the UPS with the issue I unplugged it from the wall and disconnected from internal battery sources, put on battery support then plug in the internal connections to wall power to get it out of it\u2019s seized up condition. I then plugged that problem UPS back into one of my dedicated 20amp circuits. After that my C7000 blade chassis had power to bring up all of my blade servers I use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chassis shows some warnings etc but when you have to scavenge and use the firmware versions available without contract that\u2019s what you get sometimes. It has all been working splendidly for several years now. I will be soon moving off it back to individual rack mount servers soon though for power and performance especially now that I can readily get 10gb NICS and have several 10gbe switches in my environment outside of my c7000 chassis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n



I also had to go into the bios of my SuperMicro NAS server and switch to a mirror boot device for it to come up. I will have to try to re-mirror that again in FreeNAS. Yes I have not yet gone up to TrueNAS but I\u2019m planning on it real soon. Then I will up the capacity with new drives as well. This configuration lasted me almost five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the systems were down I decided to perform updates of the OS on my virtual web server running Rocky 9 and my music relay server running Fedora 41. I updated my W2019 Datacenter server as well but that required no boot and its running bare metal on one of my ProLiant BL460c G7 blade servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Servers are up and communicating with each other now to deliver my sites to the internet so I will continue to listen to my music from Snakeice\u2019s House of Beats<\/a> and fall off to sleep. I had a nice set started and was a couple of hours into it but I still have some setup for the next few hours then its on the scripts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
