RE: UPS signal status

[Charlie Prothero <Charlie.Prothero@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My apologies if this has already been stated, but we had the same issue
and found the fix:  There is a system value that controls how many
seconds the system waits after getting a "power is out" signal before it
starts to shut down.  If you do a wrksysval qupsdlytim command, you can
see or change that value.  If it's set to zero, you go down instantly
when the UPS signals an outage...

Cheers!

I had something similar on my small system awhile back.  I have a small 
UPS that I have used through 2 or 3 machines and it has a monitor cable 
too.  My problem was that the UPS had old/bad batteries in it.  I can't 
remember if there was a message logged or not, but when the power 
flickered, the machine went down instantly.
