I'm trying to get PowerChute properly installed and configured.
I can't seem to sort out the following:
- How to enable shutdown on multiple hyper-v hosts, must i install it on each host? Seems silly.
- Do i need to use graceful VM shutdown in non clustered enviorment? (Wont the hyper-v host suspend the VM when commanded to shutdown?)
- What is the difference between runtime exceeded, and runtime below threshold?
- For a shutdown, 5 minutes, seems appropriate for hyper-v hosts?
- Do i have to configure "turn off the UPS outlet group", to have it power-on when power is restored?
I have 3 Hyper-V hosts that are configured such that each PSU is split to UPS-A and UPS-B, both being APC Smart UPS with NMC2.
- Installed powerchute on 1 of the VM hosts
- Configured it - shutdown 120 seconds, power-on 120 seconds
- Configured each UPS for a 5 minute shutdown
- ...
