Schedule Power Outage Concern

[Moshimoshi]

Howdy,

Any of you veterans out there, apparently they've scheduled a (prolonged?) power outtage at one of our facilities, in particular, the one that houses both S8700 servers, and a majority of our trunks and otherwise.

I know this will kill phone service corporate wide, as I'm positive that the company hadn't previously considered survivability during an outage like this.

I will be out of town, 3 hours from here, so I don't know that I will be handy for a "Soft shutdown", what procedure should I follow if I should, or am I just worrying too much? What services might not come back online automatically?

Let me know..

Shutdown the standby server first, you will have to "busy it out", then shutdown the active server. Have someone onsite pull the power cords out of the G650's, and the servers.

When you are ready to turn it back on, turn on the G650's first, then power on the standby and active server, and you will also have to release the standby server from "busyout" (in the maint. web page)

Also shutdown your Audix, or Modular Messaging, whatever you are using for voicemail.

Rats. I was afraid you were going to say something like that. Being out of town, I can't do this, unless I cancel all of my plans again.

So offically work is destroying my love life. <-- pfft.

Back to the subject at hand --> we're using MCC/SCC's, rather than G650's, is there a different procedure for those?

 

[Moshimoshi]

Also - proper commands to 'busyout' the active server?

 

[Mitch672]

not really, just power them off. I wouldn't count on a clean power down, or powerup, so I would manually turn them off, and then back on, after the power is back working.

You could do most of this remotley, if you had some local "smart hands" to unplug/plugin/poweroff/poweron for you

treat the mcc same as g650, on retun of the power these need to be powered first followed by the rest
