UPS Monitoring
UPS monitoring is a standard feature of the AS/400 operating system.
QUPSDLYTIM is a timer in the AS/400 that tells the system how long to
run on UPS power before shutting down. Each AS/400 system is initially
assigned a default value for QUPSDLYTIM.
To determine the default value for your system or to change the value,
refer to the Uninterruptible Power Supply section in one of the
following IBM documents:
:
“AS/400 Advanced Series Backup and Recovery - Advanced,”
SC41-4305 (for AS/400 Models 3xx and 5xx)
:
“AS/400e series Backup and Recovery,” SC41-5304
(for AS/400 6xx and Sxx)
V4R1 Backup and Recovery information (AS/400 Models 3xx, 5xx, 6xx
and Sxx) is also available on the Customer Documentation AS/400
Softcopy Library CD (SK3T-0118) and on the Internet at:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com
.
NOTE
*NOMAX tells the AS/400 to use customized shutdown software, and if none
is available it will begin shutdown immediately when utility power fails. Do not set
QUPSDLYTIM to “*NOMAX” unless you understand the implications of the “*NOMAX”
function as described in one of the IBM documents listed above.
