We had a "real" power outage with our F880 when the whole Datacentre
lost power and the UPS freaked out for some reason.

The F880 handled it perfectly. We had Sybase databases running in
production at the time and when power was restored, they came up fine,
now problems at all. I don't think that even a dbcc had to be run to
clean the db's.

Wish I could say the same for our old LSI/Metastor direct-attach SCSI.
Took hours to get those monsters sorted out!

Thanks,
Aaron

I have done it quite often over the last few months on filers in the lab
to show "non-believers" how well the filer handles the situation and
recovers after power on. 
Can't tell you anything exciting except that it always worked ;-)

As far as I know, NetApps can survive a power cut without
a problem.  I heard that back in the old days, Tom
Mendoza used to demonstrate the robustness of the filer
by yanking the power during customer presentations.
