I have 5 servers connected to a UPS battery. One of the servers is a host to a handful virtualized servers. We have our switches connected to a separate UPS too.
I have powerchute DVD which comes with Agent, Server and Console installs.
If I install the Powerchute Agent on all the servers and install the Powerchute Server on our most stable server (and connect it to the UPS via serial) can I have the powerchute server communicate to the powerchute agents to shutdown gracefully when it detects a power outage? Or do I need to order an accessory for my UPS to connect all my servers directly do the UPS.
