Clicking OK resets any EPO Latch that was previously set.EPO (Emergency Power Off) refers to the condition where all power(AC and DC) has been removed from all equipment in a computerroom. During EPO, the EPO Latch prevents cabinet battery backupfrom providing DC power.One EPO Latch is contained in each applicable cabinet in the resetstate, this latch permits DC power to be controlled by the normalbattery backup circuits. In the set state, this latch removes controlfrom the battery backup circuits and prevents DC power from beingdistributed throughout the cabinet.If an AC power failure occurs while this latch is set, data loss mayoccur because DC power cannot be distributed to logic circuits inthe affected cabinet. To prevent potential data loss, all EPO Latchesshould be reset during normal operation.An EPO Latch can be set only by either an EPO condition or an NCRTechnical Support test procedure. Therefore, you should never findthis latch set.5-12 Administration Workstation User Guide

Chapter 10 – Operating ConsiderationsChange System Run OptionsPower Delay Options10The dsk_pwr_delay run option can be used to control the number ofcabinets (of the same type) that can be powered on at the same time.This option is especially useful for very large systems, whereapplying power to all cabinets, of all types, at the same time canoverload the local power source.The default value for each of these options is zero (0), which permitsall cabinets of each type to be powered on at the same time.Configuration Changes10When set to ON (the default), or if the variable is not defined, theAuto Generated Configuration screen is displayed.When set to OFF the Auto Generated Configuration screen is notdisplayed.DAMC Power DelayOptions10The damc_pf_time variable controls the length of time (in seconds) aDisk Array (DAMC or Disk Storage Rack) cabinet is allowed to runon batteries after a powerfail is detected for that specific cabinet.The AWS will shutdown an AC failed Disk Array (DAMC or DiskStorage Rack) cabinet when it receives notification from all nodesconnected to the Disk Array (DAMC or Disk Storage Rack) cabinetthat it is safe to shutdown or when the damc_pf_time value expires.When this value is not defined, a default of 900 seconds is used. Ifthis value is changed, a series of screens appear, resetting the powerfail time to whatever new value is entered. For additionalinformation on changing a global value, refer to “Modify a GlobalValue” in Chapter 4 – “The Edit Menu.”This value is ignored in the case of a system-wide power fail.10-4 Administration Workstation User Guide

Chapter 10 – Operating ConsiderationsRecover from a Power FailureRecover from a Power Failure10A power failure means that AC power has been lost to one or morecabinets within the system. If the system is not protected by aninternal battery backup or an external Uninterruptable PowerSupply (UPS), data integrity cannot be ensured. If the system isprotected by internal battery backup with fully charged batteries,AC power can be lost for up to 15 seconds. After 15 seconds, anorderly shutdown occurs.To recover from an orderly shutdown, perform one of the followingprocedures after AC power has been restored. These procedures areapplicable to only cabinets/systems with battery backup.Select the appropriate procedure according to whether AC powerwas lost to a specific cabinet or to all cabinets in the system.Note: The environment boot process starts automatically after ACpower has been restored.All SMP Cabinets10The procedures for power failure recovery vary depending on howthe Auto Cab Power-On field is set in the CMIC Bootp ConfigRecord. Refer to “Bootp Config Records” in Chapter 4 – “The EditMenu.” Each SMP cabinet in the system should have the samesetting.For more information regarding the CMIC environment variablesand Rack-mount SMP cabinets, refer to the Service Subsystem ServiceGuide.

Chapter 10 – Operating ConsiderationsDual Administration Workstation ConfigurationsDual Administration WorkstationConfigurations10A redundant Administration Workstation, referred to as “dualAdministration Workstation,” is an available option. It provides aredundant operational view of the platform.Both Administration Workstation consoles are totally independent,each having full stand-alone functionality.Enabling software allows the two consoles to operate on the sameSystem LAN (SLAN) simultaneously for all unrestricted functions.Security lockout software allows only one AdministrationWorkstation at a time to execute security function operations.System messages are actively and independently processed on eachAdministration WorkstationIn a multiple AWS configuration, the SLAN commands sent out byone Administration Workstation will show up in the Event Log ofall Administration Workstation consoles on the SLAN, ensuring aconsistent single operational view of the system.Note: Each Administration Workstation is able to simultaneouslyexecute unrestricted operations, such as alert monitoring or statusreview. However, only one Administration Workstation can enableand execute management functions at a time, thus locking out theother Administration Workstation from security operations.Note: Only the Administration Workstation Console 1 (or primaryAdministration Workstation) is connected to any DAMC cabinets inthe system. As a result, only the primary AdministrationWorkstation can exercise power control and receive CSF and eventlog information generated by the DAMC cabinets.Administration Workstation User Guide 10-15
