FreeBSD and UPS
The vendor of our new server, tells me that an APC Smart-UPS 2200VA or APC Smart-UPS 3000VA does not have software for automatic shutdown when power is lost, which is compatible with FreeBSD, it is only compatible with Windows and Linux. Is this true? Has someone experience with that? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Is this true? Has someone experience with that? It's probably true. However, just because APC doesn't supply software officially supported by FreeBSD, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

Re: FreeBSD and UPS
Yes ! There is a very good soft called apcupsd. I am working in Angola and have had a lot of problems with electricity // until I have discovered this soft. It works perfectly with the apc network card (It came as an option on my APC 1500). I have setup apcupsd to use snmp (this seems to be the most stable use). I was very surprised because the soft did shutdown the server automatically when the UPS went out of battery… and I had not tested that (lack of time). So the soft even went beyond my expectations… Port: apcupsd-3.14.5 Path: /usr/ports/sysutils/apcupsd Info: Set of programs for controlling APC UPS Maint: ite...@freebsd.org B-deps: gettext-0.17_1 gmake-3.81_3 libiconv-1.11_1 net-snmp-5.4.2.1_2 perl-5.8.9_2 R-deps: net-snmp-5.4.2.1_2 perl-5.8.9_2 WWW:http://www.apcupsd.com Le 6 mars 09 à 16:04, Pieter Donche a écrit : The vendor of our new server, tells me that an APC Smart-UPS 2200VA or APC Smart-UPS 3000VA does not have software for automatic shutdown when power is lost, which is compatible with FreeBSD, it is only compatible with Windows and Linux.
