upsAdvanceControlSimulatePowerFail
Module: CPS-MIB
OID (symbolic): CPS-MIB::upsAdvanceControlSimulatePowerFail
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.3808.1.1.1.6.2.4
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: UPS will transfer to backup mode when the variable is set to simulatePowerFailure(2). It is no effective to set this value to noFlashAndBeep(1).
What is upsAdvanceControlSimulatePowerFail?
This read-write enumerated value, when set to simulatePowerFailure, causes the UPS to transfer to backup battery mode even though utility power is actually present. It lets an admin deliberately test how connected equipment and monitoring alerts behave during an outage without waiting for a real one. For example, an admin sets this to simulatePowerFailure(2) during a scheduled DR test to confirm servers correctly detect the transfer to battery and begin their shutdown scripts.
