I'm currently sitting in the dark in my house without power, pondering the need for an automatic means to shutdown my SmartOS server. When power went off, I raced upstairs to manually shut it down prior to draining the UPS, and I'd like to avoid a repeat scenario.
It seems like the best way to do this might be to have a dedicated LX zone that runs the APC UPS daemon software. I can use it to touch a file when required, and, in the global zone, monitor the file system for the presence of that file. When the file appears, a power off command is issued. I just need to be able to have the local zone access the UPS via USB connection. Access to the LX file system from the global zone for monitoring is obviously not an issue. In short, I need to find out how to do the following: * Determine which device in the global zone the UPS is attached to via USB cable * Pass the device down to a local zone (I assume via some zonecfg commands) * Determine which device to point the daemon to in the local zone Can anybody provide some info concerning the above issues? Thanks in advance, John Sent from my iPad ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
