Hi all,
I am looking for some advice on the best way to configure and use APC PowerChute Network Shutdown to gracefully shutdown our server's in the event of a loss of power (especially if it occurs in the middle of the night when no one is on site).
First let me describe our set up....
We have:
6 x APC UPS's (with network cards)
6 x Physical Servers
(approx) 40 x Virtual Servers (VMWare)
I have been reading about the possible integration into vSphere for the virtual servers but I think to begin with I want to keep it simple and not integrate it.
I have installed Network Shutdown on one of my physical servers and linked one UPS so that I can have a look at it. I am struggling however to find a decent user/setup guide.
Is it just a case of writing command files to trigger at the start of a particularity event?
For example:
***Power cut = UPS on...
