AP8966 rPDU command issue

[DCIM_Support]

Hi team ,

One question need your help.   Our customer want to perform AC power Cycle test via our  APC PDU (type is AP8966).  He readed  the User Guide_Switch RPDU.pdf and try to control it via CLI command by ssh .  He can use putty.exe tool to control PDU  on/off via SSH.   but it doesn't work when  try to using the "Putty -m" command to read script from a file.   ( -m: read a remote command or script from a file)

Does anyone could advise ? Many thanks .

Best Regards

Hi Chu!

I'm not familiar with plink utility, so cant say why it's dont work.

As an option, you can use an utility called Telnet Scripting Tool aka TST10, and work via telnet.

You can download Utility from this site. 

And use with script like this:

192.168.14.72 wait "User Name :" send "apc\m" wait "Password :" send "apc\m" wait "apc>" send "olReboot 24\m" wait "Success"

I've try to experiment with plink and find out that when plink executing script, NMC sense it like file transfer attempt. Here is an event log: 11/01/2016 20:13:07 System: SSH/SCP: File transfer failed. 11/01/2016 20:13:07 System: SSH/SCP: File transfer started. 11/01/2016 20:12:52 System: SSH/SCP: File transfer failed. 11/01/2016 20:12:52 System: SSH/SCP: File transfer started. But file transfers are allowed via FTP or SCP, so transfer is failed. I've try different options but with no luck. So I think you need some other tool for script execution.

Hi! I can recommend to use telnet tool mentioned in my first answer. I've check it and it works. Unfortunately, I cant recomment ssh solution at the moment. I'll try to check this out when I'll have more free time.
