"All I need is a simple solution to call graceful shutdown for a few groups of
servers."
An administrator with three sets of servers needs to trade off capacity for uptime in
the event of a prolonged AC failure.
Server shutdown agents (MopNSA or RCCMD software) are installed on each
server. The agent listens on the network for a shutdown command from
ManageUPS network shutdown controller (NSC).
ManageUPS NSC is configured to connect to the first group and call OS shutdown
five minutes after an AC failure has been reported by the UPS. As this group finishes
its shutdown and power off sequence, the UPS load on the battery is reduced by
about 1/3 ⎯ increasing the autonomy available to the remaining groups.
Shutdown is called on the second group after 15 minutes on battery have elapsed.
The third group is configured to wait until the UPS reports only a few minutes of
battery time remaining to allow the maximum system uptime before bringing the
servers off line.
