That is why we have a UPS battery connected to server but without some settings its only a nice piece of power equipment, nothing more. Some hardware or software damage could happen when suddenly the power is off, especially if it happen many times. But again in my opinion should be something built on CIMC by default for the first line of power protection/issue for the server itself. See discussion at Īnother discussion involving UPS network card: ESXi), then you typically deploy a powerchute virtual OVA appliance on the ESXi host that has a small Linux OS and power-chute agents. If you have a USB/serial only UPS, and virtualized environment (i.e. network card vs USB/serial) that will drive your configuration. agent in OS, send IPMI command ), and the UPS's alerting interface (i.e. It is the UPS power-chute software's capabilities (i.e. There is a good bit of configuration that varies on the actual setup depending on whether your UPS has a network card in it, or whether it just has a USB/serial connection.
