I am currently adding another UPS system into my workplace server room, and I wanted to evaluate the way the current setup is, so that I can determine whether or not I should take time to redesign the setup. So I'm looking for recommendations on how others have setup servers with redundant power supplies and UPS units.
For instance: With redundant supplies, where do you have them plugged in? 1 to a UPS? 1 to the wall? Same or separate circuits?
Should I only have one power supply in a UPS, or should there be more?
We do have a generator for our building, and soon will have a separate one just for the server room, so the UPS on needs to carry the machines for 30 secs or so, and so far they have been doing their job, I just wanted to know again about people's "best practices" setups.
