Options

AServer power
BRack power
CSwitch power
DSAN power

Explanation

When a power outage occurs, the first thing that should be checked is the power supply to the servers. If the servers have power, then the next thing to check is the power supply to the rack. If the rack has power, then the next thing to check is the power supply to the switches. If the switches have power, then the next thing to check is the power supply to the SAN. In this case, the servers did not lose power, so the rack power and the server power are not the problem. The switch power is the most likely culprit, so it should be investigated first.
