Capacity Overview

Hello team,

we have an issue with the capacity overview in a deployment over DCO 8.2.

We have different locations, and in the global view for Scotland we see this capacity overview:

But inside Scotland we only have one floor plan for Glasgow with this capacity:

So both Capacity Overviews should be the same, shouldn't they?

Then inside Glasgow, we have 4 rooms:

Main Room with two small UPSs A-B that feed two in-row cooling machines for a high density area. Each UPS is 40 kW, total in this room: 80 kW

Also in this Main Room we have two rectifiers, A-B, with 2.4 kW each one. Total 5 kW

Room UPS-A with a 540 kW UPS

Room UPS-B with a 540 kW UPS

Another room only with racks.

So, the total capacity of Scotland is 1.165 kW (80+5+540+540). 

But we have defined 2N redundancy in all the racks, so we expected to see the half of the total capacity, 582,5 kW for this site.

Where are the errors?

Thanks in advance.

Two things, while waiting for the rest to feedback.

1. Capacity KPI is updated daily, by default at 3 AM, so it may take a while for the KPI to be updated. I would suggest checking power dependency, to see if there are other PDU or power panel with input breaker specified outside of those under the UPS you mentioned, outside of Glasgow, as PDU or power panel with input breaker specified is considered as power capacity.
2. The way 2N capacity is shown in power capacity is shown as total UPS capacity, not IT load capacity, as such the number shown for Glasgow,based on your description is correct 1,165 kW (80+5+540+540). DCO 8.x reserved power capacity as both estimated load as well as failover load.

Hi Javier

I had added 3 new cabinets which caused the 4000kW + increase in reported power, I don't know how it was so much, but I deleted them and both figures are now the same.
