UPS Utility Manual

NOTE
The use of the "keep running" option is entirely at the discretion and responsibility of
the HP3000 system manager. While making this option available for users who
wish to use it, Hewlett-Packard DOES NOT RECOMMEND USE OF THIS
OPTION, and CAN NOT ASSURE USERS THAT THERE WILL NOT BE
CORRUPTION OF DATA STORED ON DISK DEVICES should this option be used.
parameter name:
powerfail_low_battery
parameter values:
(a)
system_abort
To cause UPS Monitor to execute a special "low UPS battery system abort" operation whenever a configured UPS device
signals "low battery charge condition" to the UPS Monitor.
(b)
keep_running
To cause UPS Monitor to report any "low battery charge condition" to the system console and system log file, but
thereafter
to keep the system running. There will be no intentional system abort from the UPS Monitor in this case.
3.4.3 The Default UPS Monitor Configuration File
You can still control the UPS Monitor with a configuration file even if you never
use UPSUTIL's NEWCONFIG
command.
This is because the UPS Monitor (Version 8 of March 2000, or later version ) automatically attempts to open and
read a default UPS Monitor configuration file, named UPSCNFIG.PUB.SYS, at each system startup (each system boot).
Therefore, after installing Version 8 (or later) of the UPS Monitor software on your system, you need only use your
favorite editor to create a UPSCNFIG.PUB.SYS text file and then re-boot the system.
From this point on, the file
UPSCNFIG.PUB.SYS will govern your system's UPS Monitor's configurable behavior.
The file UPSCNFIG.PUB.SYS
will
be read by and acted upon by the UPS Monitor during every system startup, and also (should you choose to use this
facility) every time the UPS Monitor is started by using the UPSUTIL START command.
NOTE
The UPSUTIL START command causes a fresh-from-scratch startup of the UPS
Monitor (when it is not already running). Hence, a START will cause UPS
Monitor to read the default configuration file UPSCNFIG.PUB.SYS.
The UPSUTIL RESTART command causes a re-initializing restart of the UPS
Monitor, when it is already running. In this case, UPS Monitor will remember the
file name of the most recently active configuration file, and will re-process that same
file during the restart.
