Questions to Determine

  • What is the per-outlet power draw for each device on the overloaded phase (L2)?
  • Which servers were recently added, and were they properly accounted for in capacity planning?
  • Is the load imbalance a phase distribution problem (too many servers on L2 outlets)?
  • Can any non-critical workloads be gracefully powered down or migrated to reduce immediate risk?
  • Are the new GPU servers drawing more power than their nameplate rating predicted?
  • Can servers be redistributed across phases by moving power cables to different PDU outlets?
  • Is the redundant PDU (PDU-B) also at risk of overload if PDU-A trips?
  • What is the total rack power budget and how does current draw compare to the planned allocation?
  • Are there any servers with redundant PSUs that could shift one PSU to a different phase?
  • Should any servers be relocated to a different rack with available capacity?
