What’s remarkable about that?

We use arthritic hamsters.

Actually, a "battery" indication on a server makes sense -if- your server is on a UPS and the UPS reports "AC IN" status to the server.

  1. The server and all VMs are on AC power... but then...
  2. The AC goes dead, and the UPS cuts in.
  3. The UP sends status to the server that the system is now on battery power.
  4. The VMs see the "I'm on battery power" indication, and can begin orderly shutdown, take evasive action, or whatever strategy is specified in their config.
