Can anyone tell me what the best practice is for handling a data center that has excessive power outages? I've been called in now 3 times this month due to the power failing in the building my database is housed in. Obviously the APC 3000 units can only hold 'x' amount of systems for 'x' amount of time but after that time is reached, the servers just cold die. Is there a way I can have my Linux servers mainly the ones managing my database systems cleanly power off / shutdown once a threshold of battery level on the UPS is reached? Is this something the UPS must support or can it be done some other way?
