APC - AP7930 Switched Rack PDU
Mar 29, 2009
Have an issue that I am dealing with, APC support couldn't really help me get anywhere either.
Here is the story:
I am leasing a rack at Equinix in Sunnyvale.
It came with 3 APC Switched rack PDUs.
By the looks of it, they were used by the previous customer.
APC sent me a serial to RJ11 programming cable, and I have been trying to use HyperTerminal, but I get a blank screen when I attempt to connect.
I have tried arp commands, but, again, it looks like the device was previously configured.
I downloaded this: [url] hyper terminal software.

I have a Switched Rack PDU AP7921 in use and it was working now for several months without any problems. But sice yesterday I have a problem with the network connection. I was not able to connect to the PDU anymore, after pressing the reboot button it was working again. But after a few minutes, the problem appeared again.
Is this a common problem of this APC PDUs? Is there a fix, for example a firmware upgrade or is it broken?

I have an APC AP7930 which just randomly stopped showing the amperage of the circuit. When I log into the device I see:
Code:
Communication Status
Communication has been lost to the device!
and in the logs see:
Code:
08/26/2007 11:00:53 Switched Rack PDU: Communications lost.
08/26/2007 10:55:21 Switched Rack PDU: Communications lost.
08/26/2007 10:49:39 Switched Rack PDU: Communications lost.
08/26/2007 10:27:58 Switched Rack PDU: Communications lost.
08/26/2007 09:57:58 Switched Rack PDU: Communications lost.
Anyone ever see this on the AP793X series? My next step is to contact APC as think the unit might be under warranty. But it definitely will not be fun to migrate power for the some 20 devices connected to it...
I recently upgraded the firmware and rebooted the management interface several times to no avail. Powering down the PDU is not an option at this point.
This is the first time I've had an issue with an APC product. This isn't a huge issue. But I DO rely on amperage readings to keep from tripping breakers and keep power even among cabinets...

I have been reading the manual for a while, and I'm still not quite sure if I can do this with AP7930.
After power outage, I don't want all outlet to power on at the same time when the power is restored. Maybe 30-90 second gap between outlet power should suffice.
for example :
00s - power restored, port #1 on
30s - port #2 on
1m - port#3 on
1m30s - port#4 on
... and so on
The only option I see in the settings is "Power On Delay". I'm not sure if this delay only applies when I submit "On Delayed" action, or does it also apply to when the power from the provider is restored.

With all the high power servers/blade servers, the 40A (@ 110V) power limit is way too small. I am wondering if there is any colo space targeted for high density application, e.g. with 10 KW/cab limit for 60A @ 208V power drops. Does anybody know of such high density colocation space? East coast is preferred.

APC seems to be the golden standard for switched PDU.
We are looking at a Tripplite B060 IP KVM
For all you KVM gurus, that have played with various brands, love to hear feedback on the various makes out there.

I have a couple of these and we are looking to throw them into our rack but I have a question, is it possible to monitor the amp usage on a certain port or is it only possible to monitor the whole device?

I would like to buy 5 of the AP7921 APC PDUs. This is the description of this PDU:
AP7921 Horizontal Rack PDU Switched - 1U 16A (8)C13 and 208/230V Output
I have now an offer from PROVANTAGE and from CDW. But even I buy 5 of them, I have to pay the price which they publish on the internet.
Provantage is selling them for 429$ per pice. Can someone recommend a cheaper shop to buy them which is also delivering them to europe?

I have been hosting boxcheats.com with HostGator for a few months, and two days ago I ordered a dedicated IP address to see if it would help with seo. Traffic and Adsense revenue significantly dropped immediately after the dedicated IP was assigned to my account.
Is this normal when switching to a dedicated IP address and what is the cause for the instant drop in traffic?

at getting PDUs for the new facility where we plan to move our servers to. Our cabinet will have 2*20a circuits, so we're thinking of getting 2 APC PDUs (1 per circuit). Some offer remote reboot capability.
Our servers (Dell PowerEdge) have dual power supplies, and I assume the best thing is to plug one power supply into each circuit, so things stay up even if a circuit fails.
So, how would this work if we want to reboot? The servers can run on only one power supply, so does that mean we have to click reboot on the web interface of each PDU at exactly the same time?
I've never worked with PDUs before.. just cheap power strips and a call to the datacenter

I have one domain (just one?) that has a serial of 0 (on my server 5.9.57.170 , latest plesk)
Because of that, dns updates don't happen, dns servers don't respond , and my domain issuer is threatening to revoke the domain as it is not working as it should.
> dig auringostaitaan.fi @5.9.57.170 soa +short
robotns3.second-ns.com. torsten.ruger.gmail.com. 0 10800 3600 604800 10800
You can see the test here [URL] .... when you enter the domain auringostaitaan.fi
In trying to fix this i have switched the dns off,changed the mode, enabled RIPE, but i get what it says [URL] ....
Note: See the sample of SOA serial number generated with the selected format. If the resulting number is less, than the current zone number, the modification may cause temporary malfunction of DNS for this domain. Zone updates may be invisible to Internet users for some time.

I have recently started using the slave DNS manager in the Plesk extension library. I've found that even for DNS zones that are switched off in Plesk, failed sync/transfers still try to take place between the slave and master. Why is this so?
Shouldn't turning the DNS functionality off in Plesk remove the zone from the slave DNS server?
When a domains DNS functionality is turned off, it removed the zone info from the master, but no command is issued to remove it from the slave??
Domain that is trying to sync/transfer: example.com
Plesk/Master server: 111.11.11.111
Slave DNS: 222.222.22.222
Code:
May 6 08:51:39 ns2 named[1178]: zone example.com/IN: refresh: unexpected rcode (REFUSED) from master 111.11.11.111#53 (source 0.0.0.0#0)
May 6 08:51:39 ns2 named[1178]: zone example.com/IN: Transfer started.
May 6 08:51:40 ns2 named[1178]: transfer of 'example.com/IN' from 111.11.11.111#53: connected using 222.222.22.222#53166

I woke up to a complaint by the ISP of spamming for one of our servers. More than 10 000 spams in a shared hosting environment. Found Steven online, thank God! PM him and he went to work looking for the culprit. He spend time monitoring and putting in scripts to catch the culprit and in no time found the faulty script causing the spams.
Really saved me a big headache on how to explain to the ISP. Thanks to the consistent excellent work done by Steven of Rack911.
Those unpatched forums of clients can really be a hassle and a big source of problems.

Our server count with The Planet only seems to be increasing as of late and I'm now starting to drive myself nuts with bandwidth counts, costs, etc.
My main concern at the moment is our total bandwidth. While we might have a server with a 2500GB limit only use 50% we might have a 1500GB limit use 200%. I understand that any overages are our own fault, etc but there must be a way for us to combine all bandwidth across all servers!
Is it possible for The Planet or any of the other big boys to provide private racks with pooled bandwidth without going colo?

I honestly dont understand why does DELL, HP and others price their 1U TFT monitors at 3 times the cost of the cheapest laptop?
I mean, dont get me wrong, I am all for spending good money to get quality products but I feel very awkward spending 3 times as much for a screen and keyboard when I can get their laptops WITH OS, MEMORY AND HDD for 3 times as less and use it as the 1U TFT monitors.
I can get a powerful server from Dell and HP at that price for crying out loud.
But then again, I might be seriously overlooking something here because what justifies such high price?

We have about 50 Cpanel servers in our own AS with two upstream providers. On the cpanel servers we use the following IPs in the /etc/resolv.conf:
1. IP of the cpanel server
2. DNS IP of the 1st upstreamprovider
3. DNS IP of the 2nd upstreamprovider
I realized, that the upstreampoviders nameserver are not answering that fast and therefore I was thinking to make my own DNS Server, which I could use additionaly after the IP of the cpanel server.
Is this a good idea or is it not necessary? If it is a good idea, which dns deamon would be recommended? If we build this server, maybe would be also nice if we could offer DNS as a single service. Is there any solution where we could create user accounts where user could manage there own dns zones?

I´m having a problem right now. I need to buy a Dual Xeon system, to use 2 Quad Cores, however there are some things I need:
- I already have a SCSI controller (Dell Perc 4 (PCIe))
- I already have HD´s (3x SCSI U320)
- I want to use RAID5
- The chassis must be 1U
... my problem is that I never worked with SCSI U320, just SATA and SAS. I usually buy Tyan racks, more specifically, this one: Tyan Tank GT20 5381
It doesn´t have the option for SCSI U320, however they sell SCSI Backplanes that are compatible with this barebone. My question is:
- How do I connect a standalone card (like the one I have) to the backplane? Is there any SCSI connector on the backplane?
- Since space is a bit of a problem in 1U racks, are there any kind of cables that can do more tight turns inside the case?

What do you guys think about putting 40 Amps into one rack? Our colocation provider wants to whine about it and not allow it. When we're paying them $1000+ a month - I think this is just shoddy. They say it's for heat concerns - but really this just makes me mad. We have fifteen 1U servers in there, and can't get much more on our existing 20 amps.

Does anyone have any recommendations where I can get a few cheap (full length) rack shelves in the UK. They don't have to be adjustable but would prefer if they where full ones and not the half ones as I don't think they would take the weight correctly.

I was having problems with a host and Ed (one of the owners) helped me out creating a custom package to fit my needs and moving my sites across.
I've posted more than my fair share of tickets and they all get responded to quickly. All the tickets have either been my own problems for example installing scripts or sales questions.
Server speeds are good for me and prices are low.
