Ok so i have 3 servers, A, B, C, A Smart-UPS 2200, and NMC card AP9631
A is connected to smart ups 2200
B and C are connected to dumb UPS
A, B, and C are BIOS configured to restore power after power is back on..
A,B,C and NMC AP9631 are connected to a switch which is backed up with B's UPS. Diagram:
Could anyone give correct setup if i want to :
A to shutdown after blackout, after 15 minutes the UPS is on battery AND restore power after electricity is back
B to shutdown after blackout, after 30 minutes the UPS is on battery AND restore power after electricity is back
C to shutdown after blackout, after 30 minutes the UPS is on battery AND restore power after electricity is back
I've configured PCNS on A,B, and C to shutdown when on battery after 15,30,30 min respectively.
Added 3 IPs of A,B, and C on powerchute clients on NMC's web interface
Now the part that i dont understand are :
1. What should i setup if i want the UPS to signal all 3 servers to restore power after electricity is back? Or is it only possible with A since only A is connected to the smart UPS?
2. In noticed there's also shutdown rule on NMC's web interface, Which takes priority, shutdown rule of NMC or PCNS of each servers?
3. I noticed on each server, when i try to open PCNS,chrome is always giving me not secure warning, does this affect the shutdown rule somehow?
4. And what are the correct setups on each PCNS and NMC for this to work?
Thanks
