Power Systems
Installing a PowerTrust Uninterruptable Power System (UPS) to an
HP-UX computer ensures that power is maintained to your computer
system for up to fifteen minutes after an AC power failure, preventing
problems such as networking time-outs and tape rewinds.
The PowerTrust UPS can be configured to bring the system down with a
graceful shutdown before its batteries deplete, thus maintaining data
integrity and ensuring a clean reboot and reasonable system wide fsck.
PowerTrust UPS is configured as a serial device. This chapter details the
configuration guidelines.
