RE: CPI0962 - UPS Connected message

The UPS is evidently attached.

I built a little program using MATMATR api to determine the UPS attachment
status.

Guess I should mention we have POWER5...

Look at it this way, rather than repeatedly seeing the same message over and
over, that you'd end up just skipping over without reading it. You only get
a message when something changes. Which usually means you'd want to pay
attention to it.

Thanks Charles. The non-positive response from the Power 7 is just a
little unnerving. I would prefer that on power-up the machine
acknowledge the existence of the UPS.

I don't really ever seeing it at IPL.

We've always had a UPS attached.

yesterday by looking for instructions on how to hook up to a UPS in
the Power 7 hardware information center. But after awhile I
realized the people who sign my paychecks probably want me working on

assigned tasks.

We have a Power 7 running IBM I V7R1.

We have recently attached an IBM sanctioned UPS to the system.

Last week we powered down the system and attached the UPS and
powered up the System and received the CPI0962 message during IPL.

All good.

Over this past weekend our building had a planned power outage. We
shutdown the Power 7 and shutdown the UPS.

When the power to the building was restored we powered up the UPS
and

then

the Power 7 was powered up.

The Power 7 came up find, however this time we did not get the
CPI0962 message.

The question is: shouldn't we get the CPI0962 message every time the
system ipl'd?
