Hi,

This UPS isn't supported with ups_mond:

You need a supported UPS and software configured properly:

Hi,

FYI. I've another site that using same server and same UPS. On the other site, when i cut off power for UPS and after 2 minute turn on it back, the server are cancelled the shutdown process. Any idea?

thanks

Could be a different setup on the other UPS.
Or you are taking a longer time, before you re-apply power.

On the UPS, you have got the shutdown delay timer.

If the timer is set for 5 minutes.
The UPS or UPS agent will waite 5 minutes, then send a shutdown command to the server.
Once the sutdown command has been sent, it's inreversable.
If you're very close to the delay time, then you may actually apply power in time, but still it will shutdown, because cancellation will late.

OK, i will try it again. Could you give the what must i check first before turn off UPS power.

[gregersenj]

Check the shutdown delay time.

If it is set for 5 min.
I will recommend to re-apply power within 3 minutes.

I did some time checks, some years ago, on a "complicated" set up. If I remember correctly. If I applied power within 1 min 30 sec before the delay time, not all serveres got cancelled.
