Power down blades during power failure.
Currently we have a C7000 with 8 blades connected to two HP R5000 UPS's. If the power goes out and the batteries run out off power, my servers will hard shut down. Is there a solution to tell the servers to gracefully shut down?

Re: Power down blades during power failure.
Usualy there are a few ways to do it. USB cabel is gone because you don't want to use the dongel to get a usb port. The other is by network and a applikation that monitors the UPS and can then tell the other servers to shutdown gracefully before the power runs out.
This is the way with some APC UPS's. Read the manual and you will surely find a way to do this.

Loss of power should then send an alert to the agent to shut the servers down.

Re: Power down blades during power failure.
Or as long as another windows machine on the network has power you could use the iLO scripting tool to send a power on script to the iLOs of the servers.

Re: Power down blades during power failure.
I wanted to use HP's power monitor for the shutdown, but if you have 2 UPS each on a different circuit, how do you keep the failure of one UPS from shutting everything down?
