NUT with UPS shutdown

[mcfly9]

I have installed nut on proxmox and managed to define the UPS. NUT successfuly executed a FSD, but not sure how to actually turn off the UPS, so an automatic poweron after power has returned would be executed.

What I don't fully understand:
1) Do I need to manually call upsdrvctl shutdown in some shutdown scripts? Am I supposed to do it in upssched-cmd?
2) When testing the shutdown sequence, I see that the UPS driver seems to be shutting down before the VM's are actually shut down. Is this correct? Why not after the VM's have stopped? Is there any way to get a callback after VM shutdown to initiate UPS shutdown?

1. Yes, you need to manually call upsdrvctl shutdown in your shutdown scripts. You can do this in upssched-cmd by adding the command to the shutdown command in your upsmon.conf file.
2. The UPS driver is shutting down before the VM's because it is following the order of events specified in the shutdown sequence. If you want the UPS to shut down after the VM's, you can modify the shutdown sequence in your upsmon.conf file to reflect this. Alternatively, you can try using a callback function in your shutdown scripts to initiate the UPS shutdown after the VM's have stopped.

Thanks, I'll be able to test it later this week. I did some traces though of NUT initiating UPS shutdown in systemd scripts:

root@proxmox-sz:~# cat /lib/systemd/system-shutdown/nutshutdown
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/upsmon -K >/dev/null 2>&1 && /sbin/upsdrvctl shutdown

To have proxmox shutdown full first , before the ups going down... What do you put in your config, in the nut server? You add a delay..? Like did you install the nut client on prox just as is , with no upssched.conf ..
