SUMMARY: Info on UPS hardware and software

Hi all,

Seems most people are using APC, and powerchute and all without problems.
Also noted, Network UPS Tools software can be obtained from
http://www.exploits.org/nut/ for monitoring instead of powerchute

Powerchute Software in use:
APC doesn't provide PowerChute Plus free of charge for Solaris, so you will
have to purchase the license(s).
* version 4.2.3 of PowerChute Plus
* PowerChute v4.5
* powerchute 2.0 software on SPARC/Solaris is functioning as expected, but
it is NOT possible to do a 'silent install', e.g. without user-interaction.


Karl.

> Hi all,

> I'm looking at providing UPS failure protection for all our unix boxes.
> Currently there is an APC Smart UPS 1000 in place, using Powerchute

> My first query is regarding APC, is this the better option, the Sun
> Solutions site only references APC, but have found other manufacturers.
> Second, software for monitoring power and shutting down the system. I'm
> running Soalris 2.6, 7 and 8. I have seen references stating that the
> Powerchute software doesnt support solaris properly.
