PSU Configuration and Monitoring

These are the supported PSU configurations for the appliance models and PSU types:

PSU Type

QLS250

QLS450, QLS650, and QLS800

MLS200 and MLS400

AC or DC

2 PSUs

3 PSUs

2 PSUs

Important - All PSUs on an appliance must be of the same type, either all AC or all DC.

When a PSU functions correctly: the PSU LED is green, the Alert LED does not blink due to a PSU issue (might blink due to other errors), and there is no SNMP alarm.

When a PSU does not function correctly: the PSU LED is amber, the Alert LED blinks due to a PSU issue, and an SNMP alarm is sent.

To monitor the PSUs on the appliance in Gaia Clish:

  1. Connect to the command line on the appliance.

  2. Log in to Gaia Clish.

  3. Run:

    show sysenv ps

    Example output on a QLS800 appliance:

    QLS800> show sysenv ps
