I don't have a UPS, but the server has a redundant power supply
which is connected to two separate power circuits. so if one goes out,
no big deal. in addition, the 9500-12MI controller has a battery-backup
unit (BBU) installed to preserve the write cache in case of a power
failure.
if you're concerned about power failures when using 3ware cards, I
recommend turning off the write cache, or using a BBU (costs about $100)
if you're using a 95XX-series controller.
Yes. First flush at shutdown then immediately following a switch-off of
the cache.
Did you get the webserver management software to run? I couldn't, it
always crashed. But the console client works. Some scripting and polling
every 30 minutes and it sends emails on alerts and failures. But the
3ware webserver would be more convenient, at least a bit I think.
Greetings,
Robert.
