Hi all, I was logged into my iDrac last night and noticed in the Summary that my PS1 was showing a status of Present | Failure. I checked the logs and on Aug 25th, there was a fan failure on PS1 and PS2 at different times, but then power was restored. I did shut the server down to install an APC UPS and plug one of the power supplies to it and the other PS to my main power source. I honestly don't recall which one it was though.

So my question is this something that needs to be cleared, or is my PS1 actually failing? I'm looking at all the reading for power use from both power supplies and they both read as working and nothing seems out of the ordinary, which is curious.

On a side note, I'm checking my power configuration settings, and i am noticing that PS1 is my primary power source, redundancy policy is set to not redundant, hot spare is enabled, and power factor correction is disabled. I would like it to work that if PS1 actually did fail, either due to the hardware going bad or the power goes out that it is attached to, that PS2 would be failed over to. For the settings i have currently, would that work, or do i need the redundancy policy set to input power redundant?

Thanks for your time!
