Hi All,
Looking at UPS systems for our network, mix of standalone and HP Blade C3000 chassis (Currently only basic APC UPS installed with no NIC or Management cards), I am looking at improving the monitoring and the ease of triggering server shutdowns.
Does software have to be installed on each server to initiate shutdown or can you get systems where one server can monitor the UPS and trigger shutdown on the other servers?
Alternatively are there any very lightweight installs? I believe the APC software requires Java on each server which I would rather avoid.
Any help / advice much appreciated!
