How is load divided between the primary and redundant power supplies in a Poweredge 2970?
Our Poweredge 2970 server has redundant power supplies. My question is: What percentage of the load does each power supply handle? Does the primary supply handle 100% of the load and the redundant supply 0% unless the primary supply goes down? Or do they both handle 50% under normal conditions? Is there a configuration setting that controls this? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The power supplies are not load balanced on this server, it uses 100% of one and will switch if a power failure is detected.

How can one determine which PSU is currently in active use?
