The theory is that the RA3000 is a cheap "solution product", that is, it's
intention is for small
businesses to have some form or redundancy. Thus you get a UPS. As far as
running the RA3000
off the Main UPS. We do that now, but ideally, you could run 50/50 RA3000
UPS from RAW Mains and
from your Main UPS (if you have dual power power modules).
I like the RA3000, although you need a PC to configure it. I don't think it
was meant for use in the Big UNIX
world but as it's cheap, fast and redundant all cash-short UNIX admins use
it to save on their budget.

Subject: RAID Array 3000 issues
Managers,
I am awaiting delivery of 2 DS10s with each connected to a RAID Array
3000 all mounted in the 79 inch rack (H9A15). My concern is regarding the
UPS that is part of the RA3000 that is used to back up the controller
cache.
Our entire server room is protected by an EXIDE Powerware Plus 18/15
(15kvA)
and that is where the source of power for the rack containing the DS10s and
RA3000s will come from. My question to those of you that might have
experience with the RA3000 is, will I run into power problems when I feed
the UPSs on the RA3000 with the EXIDE? If so, why would Compaq
automatically assume that a customer would not be using a UPS to power all
of their equipment?
Thanks,
Allen
