Hi,
The company where I work uses as main switch a WS-C6506-E but is being working with one power supply but physically having two pwr supplies. During the past months the pwr supply has been sending a Fan alarm with a time affectation of 10ms:
!
*Oct 26 16:30:36.730: %C6KENV-SP-4-PSFANFAILED: the fan in power supply 1 has failed
*Oct 26 16:30:46.734: %C6KENV-SP-4-PSFANOK: the fan in power supply 1 is OK
!
By looking on the inventory I noticed that chassis recognizes only one Fan (from the active pwr supply) but none for the second pwr supply:
!
NAME: "WS-C6506-E-FAN 1", DESCR: "Enhanced 6-slot Fan Tray 1"
PID: WS-C6506-E-FAN , VID: V03, SN:
NAME: "PS 1 WS-CAC-6000W", DESCR: "AC power supply, 6000 watt 1"
PID: WS-CAC-6000W , VID: V05, SN:
NAME: "PS 2 WS-CAC-6000W", DESCR: "AC power supply, 6000 watt 2"
PID: WS-CAC-6000W , VID: V05, SN:
!
In addition the active pwr supply display a pwr consumption of 2761 W (1100W less comparing with the 2nd PS):
#sh power status power-supply 1
PS Type Watts A @42V Status Status State
1 WS-CAC-6000W 2671.20 63.60 OK OK on
#sh power status power-supply 2
PS Type Watts A @42V Status Status State
2 WS-CAC-6000W 3780.00 90.00 - - off
I understand that a power supply replacement is needed, but meanwhile can please someone mentioned if I can use the 2nd pwr supply (without having the Fan hardware information) or should I wait for the pwr supply replacement?
What is the normal operations regarding with the power supply? It is normal to have only one active pwr supply?
(When I started working with this company the switch worked only with this pwr supply)
Thank you.
