Determining redundancy of power feeds connecting a server to a power supply
First Claim
1. A system for determining redundancy of power feeds connecting a server to a power supply, the system comprising:
- a redundancy monitoring manager to;
receive 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;
wherein the connection information is received wirelessly from the redundancy monitoring interposers;
in dependence upon the connection information, determine for each power feed provided to the server, which power circuits supply the power feed;
determine if any of the power feeds are supplied by the same power circuit; and
indicate 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.
