3.4.2 UPS Monitor Configuration Options
Here are the available configuration options (configuration "commands") for UPS Monitor configuration files.
3.4.2.1 Powerfail Message Routing
The powerfail message routing configuration option allows you to choose how the UPS Monitor will handle its issuance of
the HP3000 system's ** RECOVERY FROM POWERFAIL ** message, which is issued at
the end of every power failure
event -- when AC power has returned to all UPSs --
to notify the system operator and (optionally) system users of the
completion of a power failure cycle.
parameter name:
powerfail_message_routing
parameter values:
(a)
all_terminals
To send the notification message to the system console and to all user terminals.
(b)
console_only
To send the notification message only to the system console. No notification messages are sent to any user terminals.
3.4.2.2 Powerfail Command File
The
powerfail command file configuration option allows you to specify your own MPE/iX Command File to be executed at
a certain time (established by the powerfail grace period configuration command; see below) following the UPS Monitor's
detection of a UPS AC power failure signal.
This configuration command is optional, and need not be included in the UPS Configuration file.
If it is not included, then
no powerfail command file will be used by the UPS Monitor.
In that case, the UPS Monitor will only report UPS power fail
occurrances to the system console and system log file, and will take no other actions due to UPS power fail detection.
parameter name
:
powerfail_command_file
parameter values:
(a) file.group.account [; <parm1> <parm2> ... <parmN> ]
To cause UPS Monitor to utilize
the named file (file.group.account) as an MPE/iX CI command file, to be executed at
powerfail grace period time following any UPS's report of an incoming AC power failure.
The file name may optionally be followed by a semicolon and a list of parameters
for the execution of the CI command
file. If the parameters are supplied in the "powerfail_command_file = xxx" configuration command,
then the parameters
will be passed as-is to the MPE/iX CI at the time when the powerfail command file is executed.
