PowerChute settings help needed
Hi All
I have a SUA5000 smart-UPS with a AP9617 card, powering 5 servers, communicating with the UPS through a private network hub. All servers are set up as clients in the UPS's Powerchute, communication is fine.
I need the UPS to signal shutdown to all my servers with one of of these 3 events, whichever comes first:
* On battery for 20 minutes
* have 10 minutes left on runtime
* having 10% battery capacity left.
Going through all settings on the UPS, I don't seem to be able to have all that info into the configuration.
Thanks
PS: For clients, I use pcns for windows and mac servers, apcupsd for unix servers (they are much simpler), if this information is of any relevance
