efamose Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hello All, I had a power outage recently which affected my Unraid system, forcing me to do a parity check when power returned. As you can imagine, this was a bit frustrating. I've been looking at Cyber Power VP1200EILCD or VP1600ELCD, however I noticed only the CP(e.g. CP1500EPFCLCD ) series has been confirmed to work based on these forums. Has anyone tested any of the VP series? Any guarantees they would work well with Unraid - controlled shutdown upon power loss. Quote Link to comment

Frank1940 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Think carefully about the Power Rating of the UPS that you buy. The larger units use non-standard battery setups that can be expensive when the replacement time rolls around. Consider how long you really need the server on the UPS. Where I live, if the power is out for longer than ten seconds, it will be out for hours! So I have set up my UPS to shutdown after being on battery for 30 seconds. There is a second reason for this type setting. If you have set up the UPS to shutdown when only (say) 10% of battery reserve and you have a power outage that cause a UPS shutdown, it will take twelve to twenty-four hours to fully recharge the battery. In the meantime, if you (or someone else) restarts the server and a second outage occurs, the battery may not have enough charge to complete the shutdown. 1 Quote Link to comment
