Good call on including the network gear in the power budget. NUT isn't much use
to the slave systems if the network connection between master and slave goes
down.
If I could get
15-30 minutes of runtime from the batts and o course run the automated
shutdown and reboot sequence through nut that would be great. The server
I'm looking at has a PSU capable of 200W but I don't expect to be maxing
out the system capabilities at all. I'll be running either Debian
Wheezy(most likely) or Trisquel 6.0 and I'd like to just use the
pre-packaged version of NUT rather than building a new package if I can.
It doesn't look like I can just copy-and-paste the link to the exact result,
but if you go to the UPS selector on the Eaton Power Quality page, they will
recommend a few models:
http://powerquality.eaton.com/
The NUT HCL spells out Powerware 9130/9140, but the Eaton pages refer to PW9130
and PW9140. Pretty sure they are the same unit with a different name.
Debian wheezy has NUT 2.6.4, which should cover most of the units that Eaton's
selector would recommend.
You could also go with a Tripplite rack-mount UPS, but a lot of the low-end
ones use a proprietary protocol that seems to change between model years.
What about the Eaton 5S series? Does it go under a different name on the
compatibility list or is it just not compatible?
It's standard USB HID, so that's a good sign that it will work fine. The
5S must not have been out long, they were lacking a good
desktop/workstation computer line-interactive unit, this one looks nice.
