I'm also doing the Raspberry Pi with nut approach. I do however run the nut daemon "upsmon" on the SmartOS host in GZ which then handles shutdown "locally" after receiving shutdown signal. It was quite finicky to set it up so if you can use SSH shutdown it'll probably be better.

Since I have a RPi running dnsmasq and pound, I might go with that approach (RPi sending shutdown command to the global zone via ssh). I could cleanly shut the RPi down, too, which would be nice considering that I've already had issues with the memory card and ungrateful reboots.

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
