Hi everyone,
While investigating a load shed problem (%PLATFORM_STACKPOWER-4-ILS_EVENT) which affected a few of our 3850 stacks configured in "Power sharing strict" mode, we came across a few concepts for which we haven't found any clear documentation yet. While we understand cause (power outage to all PSU's in slots A) and outcome (load shedding) of this issue, the following are still unclear:
- How does a Power Stack calculate the Reserved power? We have seen different values for stacks with the same topology/mode/Total Power.
- How is Total Allocated Power (Total less Rsvd) distributed between members of the same Power Stack if no specific configuration is present? "sh stack-power budgeting"provided values which we tried to correlate to actual Consumed power (Sys/PoE) or even to device classes and CDP with no success.
- Is power budgeting per member calculated differently if a Power Stack is configured for Power Sharing non-strict vs strict mode?
- How fast do budgeting calculations happen after a power outage event affecting only PSU's in slots A, considering a Power Stack of 4 members?
- Difference between Graceful and Immediate load shedding events is not clear.
Help with any of the above is highly appreciated. Thanks!
F.
