Hi, I did change the sensitivity parameter. And am wiggling some of the parameters of the UPS. One being
# UPS delay after power return (seconds) # WAKEUP 000 060 180 300 (default = 0) WAKEUP 300 If I understand correctly, that would hold the UPS of coming back on after a failure. And solve the issue of the system not coming back up when power returns during a shutdown. I that regard, this is funny: Sep 22 10:15:45 physic1 apcupsd[20713]: Initiating system shutdown! Sep 22 10:15:45 physic1 shutdown[26424]: shutting down for system halt Sep 22 10:17:56 physic1 qm[31679]: Stopping Qemu Server - sending shutdown requests to all VMs Sep 22 10:17:56 physic1 qm[31679]: VM 1030 sending 'shutdown' Sep 22 10:17:56 physic1 qm[31679]: VM 1028 sending 'shutdown' Sep 22 10:20:24 physic1 apcupsd[20713]: Cancelling shutdown Sep 22 10:21:01 physic1 apcupsd[20713]: apcupsd shutdown succeeded So, there *is* something that understands that power is back and the situation has changed. Only the effect is 0. Any clues as to make that work? Lastly, this morning i realised there is 1 strange testresult from yesterday: "- Connect the RS1500 to the second power-unit of the server. The led light on the server goes on, but on the server-side the power cable makes a funny sizzling noise." The UPS is supposed to be able to handle 850Watt, and the server was doing virtually nothing (it was waiting for me to choose the kernel to boot from), and would maximum load 650W. So, the sizzling would not be caused by a load issue, as chris suggested. Do I have a broken UPS or is this not a load issue? If so, what was it?
