We had 45 minutes on our UPS which handles our routers, switches, firewall, phone system, 1 RS6000 (dual processor), and 5 Windows 2000 servers.

We waited 10 minutes to find out what was going on, all the while shutting down non-essential servers. Then we proceeded to perform a graceful shutdown of all our systems. No backups were performed, unfortunately.

Now power is back up but we have rotating blackout situations. So the production managers/CEO would like to bring up the essential servers, but I wouldn't risk that without fully charging the UPS power cells. Then at the end of production day (if we are still up), I will be shutting down the system, in case of blackouts during the night. I wouldn't expect things to be back to normal until Tuesday, or later.

If anyone else has any suggestions about what I can do, please let me know.

HTH,
Saira
