Powerchute on Hyper-V

[DBrenner_apc]

Hi,

We have several Servers running Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Core. These Servers
are connected to APC 3000 UPS's. In order to support this configuration correctly,
we need to install the PowerChutes software on the Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Core
Servers. As the Powerchute software seems to require a GUI to install, how do we install
and configure Powerchute on Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Core?

Thanks

Hi,

To install PowerChute  navigate to the directory you have saved the installer to and type

 For PowerChute Network Shutdown on Windows 64 bit setup-x64.exe 

 For PowerChute Network Shutdown on Windows 32 bit setup-x86.exe 

For PowerChute Business Edition on Windows  pcbesetup.exe

The installer will launch and you will complete the installation. Once the installation is completed from another system that has a web browser you will open the browser and type https://:6547 

Example: https://192.168.1.10:6547

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. So to confirm this will work on HyperV Core Server, (which only has a command line and no GUI)?

Thanks

Hi all,

Which version did you get? I can't find a way to install the server module, only the agent just as described in the attachment inside the msi. I can reach this version "PowerChute Business Edition v9.1.1 for Windows" marked as compatible on Hyper-V (only for the agent...) at "https://www.apc.com/us/en/tools/download/software_comp.cfm?sw_sku=SFPCBE911&id=125&swfam=125#". Anybody would help me please? I have to manage a SmartUps 2200.

Thank you!

Hi,

The server and console modules are not compatible with Hyper-V server core. You can install the Agent and monitor from another Windows system running the server and console or monitor the agent via web interface from another system with a GUI.

To monitor the Agent form the web interface open a web browser and enter https://:6547 

Example https://192.168.11.10:6547
