Nut UPS – Uninterruptable Power Supply
The primary goal of the Network UPS Tools (NUT) project is to provide reliable monitoring of UPS hardware and ensure safe shutdowns of the systems which are connected.
Standard configuration
If using USB just enable nut
config setprop nut status enabled config setprop nut Model newhidups (default) config setprop nut Device /var/lib/ups/hiddev0 (default/USB)
Not all UPS's are supported by USB or the newhidups driver, refer to the link below
eg. config setprop nut Model bcmxcp_usb is for some Powerware units on USB
or config setprop nut Model genericups is for other Powerware units that only work on serial
Find your Model here http://www.networkupstools.org/compat/stable.html
Type is only used if your model is genericups
config setprop nut Model apcsmart config setprop nut Device /dev/ttyS0 config setprop nut Type 7 config setprop nut status enabled
check
config show nut
apply changes and restart server
signal-event post-upgrade ; signal-event reboot
alternatively
expand-template /etc/sysconfig/ups expand-template /etc/ups/ups.conf expand-template /etc/ups/upssched.conf expand-template /etc/ups/upsmon.conf expand-template /etc/ups/upsd.users expand-template /etc/ups/upsd.conf /etc/rc7.d/S15nut restart
confirm server is communicating with UPS
upsc UPS@localhost
Emails are sent to admin whenever a UPS event occurs
Configuring as a slave
where 192.168.33.11 is your UPS master, the computer that will communicate with the UPS The hostname of the server may also work.
set configuration values
config setprop nut SlaveUPS UPS@192.168.33.11 config setprop nut Master no
apply changes and restart server
signal-event post-upgrade ; signal-event reboot
confirm server is communicating with master
upsc UPS@192.168.33.11
