HP-UX and APC UPS

[Yuri Vorobyev]

Hello.

We have 2 HP RX 2620 servers.
OS is HP-UX HPRX1 B.11.23 U ia64

We also have APC UPS with SNMP management card.

Please, help me configure correct shutdown on power failure.

ps. APC PowerChute Network edition did not support HP-UX on Itanium servers.

On the page below you can download Powerchute Network Shutdown for HP-UX.
It says 10.20 and 11.00 but it's been like that 'for ages'.
I'm not 100% sure if it will run on Itanium but I've seen it running on 11.11 and 11.23 with HP9000 systems.

I recently struggled through the implementation of APC's Powerchute Network Shutdown and documented the effort in this thread:

I would suggest installing APC_PCNS and configuring as documented above.
