Status: resolved

During the monthly test of the emergency power supply the diesel aggregate on BIT-1 has broken down. The power supply in BIT-1 has not been disrupted.

BIT-1 is now powered by the regular power facilities en the UPS is available for failure in the power supply. The aggregate is unavailable and will not be activated in case of sustained power failure. Datacenters BIT-2A and BIT-2BCD have N+1 aggregates, which means there is spare capacity. Since BIT-1 is only in use for fail over and active-active scenario's the aggregate there is not redundant. The supplier of the aggregate has been informed to either repair the machine or replace it. As soon as more information becomes available this report will be updated.
