ups shutdown script

[Ed Velasco]

hi,

we have a system with the following config:
- hp integrity rx5670 rung hp-ux 11.2
- hp rx3000 xr ups

ups and cpu are configured to communicate. how could i make the shutdown script for the system to shutdown gracefully in case of power outage?

thanks,
ed

You need to install and configure HP power manager for HP-UX. This software will shutdown your server if needed.

Shalom ed,

Usually this is done with /etc/inittab, not a special script.

The exact syntax depends on the type of UPS you are using, some of them actually come with software for HP-UX. I'm sure some may have shutdown scripts, but I've always used inittab

AFAIR the built-in UPS monitor software (ups_mond) does not support this UPS. You need to download and install the software from the link I posted earlier.
