UPS date time

Simon Waters_1 — Tue, 06 Jun 2000 14:35:24 GMT

We have a UPS on the K370 that is plugged in via a serial port.

When we have a power cut - the time on syslog messages are wrong.

Doesn't seem to affect operation - but how do I set the time on the UPS?

What model UPS is this? Is it possible the syslog is showing time as GMT?

I'll have to go find the model.

It supports the power-onoff function if that helps.

If it reported GMT it would only be an hour out this side of the atlantic - for us that is probably rather more obvious - but good idea all the same.

Simon,

the UPS you described sounds like a PowerTrust to me. It uses the upsmond to monitor the UPS, right?
The solution for your problem is... a Patch.
For hp-ux 10.20 it is PHCO_7314

Thanks - it is a Power Trust.

Will add to list of desirable patches.
