Determining Redundancy Of Power Feeds Connecting A Server To A Power Supply
First Claim
1. A method of determining redundancy of power feeds connecting a server to a power supply, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a redundancy monitoring manager, from each of a plurality of redundancy monitoring interposers, connection information, wherein each redundancy monitoring interposer comprises a device that provides an electrical contact between a power circuit and one of a power supply, the server, and another power circuit;
in dependence upon the connection information, determining, by the redundancy monitoring manager, for each power feed provided to the server, which power circuits supply the power feed;
determining, by the redundancy monitoring manager, if any of the power feeds are supplied by the same power circuit; and
indicating, by the redundancy monitoring manager, that the server has at least one non-redundant power feed when multiple power feeds of the server are supplied by the same power circuit.
