I was wondering if there was any support in NUT for networked APC UPS's. All the configuration examples I see in the documentation are for USB/Serial connections to the UPS. I could mess around with serial/USB cables, but I'd really rather talk to the UPS over the network. I don't want all my servers relying on a single machine with a serial connection.
Does your APC UPS support SNMP? There is a 'snmp-ups' driver that understands several manufacturers' MIB formats, including APC's, I believe. You still may end up with a single point of failure, though, since you probably only want one machine commanding the UPS to power down. (A data center could avoid this with dual-input power supplies fed from separate UPSes.) Someone else who is more familiar with snmp-ups may have more insight into this. -- - Charles Lepple _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
