Hi Darin, I'm very interested in helping you there, and complete documentation (Typical setup...)
To provide you with a suitable, I'll need to know a bit more about your setup, Ie number of UPS / PDU, power topology (ie 1 big UPS only, redundancy on some groups, brand of HW (for features), ...). The more details, the better. 2012/3/7 Darin Perusich <[email protected]>: > Hi Bill, > > On Wed, Mar 7, 2012 at 2:53 PM, William Seligman > <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Here's how I handle it.

I'm experiencing NUT documentation overload right now since > I've never used it before. sorry for the overload, this doc still needs optimization! if you want to use NUT to accomplish the task, you will indeed have to use a combination of: - upsmon (1 master per group + 1 global master ; then all other systems in groups are slaves), - upssched, - clone or clone-outlet or dummy-ups, - some scripting (shell, python, perl). I'm thinking for some time now about a "nutmon" that would still be simple by default, but that would allow to address everything possible in NUT. so your kind of feedback would be very useful. cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - http://powerquality.eaton.com Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://www.debian.org Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/ _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
