hpux 11.23 (Integrity ) and HP USP R5500

[Luis Otavio da Costa]

Hi Folks ,
Can we control the safe hpux shutdown running in the Integrity Servers with (hpux 11.23) when using the UPS R5500 WITHOUT the management card suggested by hp to ups´s products ?
If yes how to do that ?
After halting hpux servers (Integrity ) how can we halt the Storage EVA ?
I read some user´s guides but they focus in environmentes with the Proliant servers running Windows and Linux .

Would be easier if we use/configure the SNMP Management Card R5500 ( AF401A) ? How does it work to Integrity (hpux ) and EVA Storage ?
Is the System Insight Manager Server a MUST to use the SNMP UPS card ?
Thanks in advance .

PS: the goal is to halt hp-ux processes, halt the servers and the EVA Storage before the end of UPS´s batteries without risks .

Hi Luis:

The management card allows for SNMP network management and failover to a redundent UPS. Do you have either? For example HP OpenView.

The general rule for power up and power down of peripherals and server is to first, start the peripherals. This is so they are announcing themselves to the server when the server comes up. To power down, first, the server then the peripherals. This is so the server doesn't pick up a failure signla from the peripheral.
