How to trigger shutdown with 2 UPSes?
Hi
I have a lot of servers connected to 2 different APC RT6000 UPSes. (one powersupply to each UPS)
I want to configure shutdown of these servers only when both UPSes is running (low) on battery. How can this be done?
(if only one fails, or is low on battery, nothing should be shut down)
Not alot of experience with PCNS (or other APC software), th eonly setups I have done is with single UPS)

I would suggest installing PCNS on the server and selecting the redundant solution during the install. This would require each UPS having a network management card but based on the size of the UPS, they should include one. Do you have both Network management cards on your network? The link below shows installation instructions for PCNS which includes redundant solutions.
