UPS shutdown

[Witker]

HowTo
Shut down when electricity is down
AND
Boot up when electricity is back

I have a UPS connected to Synology NAS



What to set up in ProxMox to achieve this?

Is it enough to just enter the IP of the ProxMox to shut down also all running VMs?

You will have to install upsmon on your proxmox servers.

The 2nd link is for a windows server but the edits to the upsmon.conf are the same

as for the booting back up, that will probably be a bios setting to "power up on restore of power"

THX I will have a look

But it just came in my mind what happens to the running VMs when I shut down ProxMox in console?

 

[Sean McKee]

proxmox will shut them down before it shuts down

 

[Witker]

Isn't that how it should be configured?

On power down command from Synology
ProxMox should shut down all VMs
and shutdown the Server.
Would be perfect?

Is there an additional feature required to follow the command of Synology to shut down? - YES

I found this:
Your Synology can act as a UPS server and send shutdown messages to other devices. Synology's server is based on NUT. It should be as simple as enabling the Synology UPS server in the settings, then installing the NUT packages on proxmox and pointing them at the server.

Pls Help me on HowTo
1 Enter servers IP address in the Synology UPS Server - OK
2 HowTo install the NUT packages on ProxMox and pointing them at the server.

Hope for help

Was this succesful?

I'm trying to do the same (2 Synology NAS - works)

ProxMox with nut - I'm going crazy with it for 2 hours now.

Any help with the nut configuration connecting to my Synology DS would be great!

in my case i shut down proxmox over the ipmi Port which shutdown directly the hardware without shuting down the vms!
over ipmi with power soft command it went down and shut down the vm's too

Thanks, unfortunately I don't have a IPMI port, as my Proxmox Server is just a Desktop Mini PC for hobby purposes. Tomorrow I'll try again

if you have a proxmox backup Server and PVE on the same hardware !
connect from the PBS to the PVE and shut down there pve will shut down the VM first

I started over after I manually deleted all nut config files and reinstalled nut.

It works now as netclient with ups@(ip)
