Without reading, the comms can get a little confusing. The above document is recommended reading if your planning on setting up an APC UPS and want to automate clean shutdowns. Or better still, use more than one machine to host PCNS, as they will operate on a first in first served basis.Īs you’ll see here the NMC’s firmware and PCNS are quite extensible. What you can also do is host the PCNS (PowerChute Network Shutdown) on a VM, because once the shutdown of ESXi has been initiated, there is no stopping the sequence, and the VM’s will all be cleanly shutdown. cold shutdown, there is no possible corruption of the file system. Oh… or servers that have their entire file system loaded into volatile memory, so if they are powered off, I.E. dll that issues the shutdown sequence.Ī couple of EeePC 901’s have also recently been made redundant, and I may use one of those with Windows 7 installed at some stage.Ĭurrently all of my workstations and servers that don’t have batteries, I.E. It’s got just enough battery capacity to stay alive for long enough to receive the event from the NMC (Network Management Card) and run my. We have to decide which machine/s is/are going to be used to launch our script (which in turn is run by what APC call a command file).Ĭurrently I’ve got an old laptop I pulled out of the rubbish about 5 years ago, with Windows XP running on it. This post is about setting up the software that will be responsible for cleanly shutting down servers and workstations. On Setting up a UPS solution, to enable clean shutdown of vital network components.
