Hi,
I am considering adding a rack mount APC Smart-UPS to add to my wiring
closet.
APC says that PowerChute Personal Edition should be used with
MacOS X Server up to v10.4.8. Any OS above that version
should use the native Macintosh shutdown as set in “System
Preferences |
Energy Saver “.
But, while the “Energy Saver” panel allows for scheduled shutdown
and wakeup
it doesn’t seem to address the situation where a signal over the
network
from the UPS that is supplying power would cause the server to shut
down
ASAP.
(Including over-riding any logged in users).
When the power returns, the default Mac “Energy Saver” preference
of stating
when power is again available would work fine for me.
Do any of you have a way of addressing this problem – that is:
Shut the server down when UPS Power device signals via a Network
Management
Card
Start Up when power is again available.
PS: Even better – when the signal arrives the Server sends a
message to all
logged in
Users asking them to logout ASAP and giving them, say 2 minutes.
Then it
shuts the system down regardless.
Thanks
Jay
If you don't mind scripting some of it yourself, how about PowerSave
