proxmox manage ups

[raj]

Hi Team,

Is there a way to intergrate some sort of ups management so that if there is a power cut, the vms can be switched off and then the host is powered off.

Cheers,

Raj

I am using apcupsd and doing exactly like you wrote. But I have APC UPSes, not sure if it works with other brands.

How are you doing this exactly? This is something I'm going to be setting up in the near future.

apcupsd will instruct the host to shutdown. When the host shuts down it will as part of the shutdown sequence either migrate VM's running on the host to other cluster hosts or shutdown the VM's running on the host prior to shutting down it self.

See http://www.apcupsd.org/ and http://www.networkupstools.org/

I'm using both. apcupsd is pretty straightforward, NUT is more complicated but has wider support for various UPS brands. Although apcupsd is working with a lot more than just APC UPS models, it supports many models of MGE/Eaton adequately for example.

Thank you both for clarifying! I assumed that might be the case.

I have found this one article and scripts very interesting - http://servernetworktech.com/2013/0...n-to-graceful-server-shutdowns-on-power-loss/

There is some workaround using http://www.networkupstools.org/

yes but any of these most likely will break with an update or upgrade. a built in solution would be much better a tab to configure the ups.

Proxmox is now getting widely used in production and in smbs and that is a feature that would benefit everyone.

100000% agreed. Just today I had a major power outage and the server didnt shutdown clean. Thanks to whatever, it seems as if I didnt lose anything but still, a APC UPS being connected to the node would be better managed by an interface extension in PVE...

Freenas has the possibility to manage APC UPS'es via a plugin, why not in PVE?

There are misc ways of doing a clean shutdown before a UPS runs out of batteries but they are sketchy at best with self coded scripts and such... The best I have found so far is from http://servernetworktech.com/2013/0...n-to-graceful-server-shutdowns-on-power-loss/

I am trying to implement this.

Are there anybody who use Eaton/MGE USV with proxmox ? the networkupstools eaton support sticks since eaton steps out of thsis project... regards and happy easter

 

[kobuki]

Yes, using apcupsd without problems, with smaller Eaton/MGE units (<2kVA).

EDIT: BTW, where is it stated that they abandon NUT development?
EDIT2: never mind, it's on the official page. But it happened several years ago. They put out the official announcement just last year.

http://www.networkupstools.org/acknowledgements.html#Eaton Ok my UPS is a bit bigger 3kVA 5PX 3000 / 11KVA EX11RT I'll give it atry... anyway

Please report back how it's working.
