Problem to detect power cut off
-
Hi, I have a problem about the limit of the power resource at my work place. My office have a server with 40 clients. The power will cut off around 6pm or 6:30pm and will be available again around 6:30am in the morning (because of the fuel price growth to high the management decide to cut the power). It is really difficult for me to manage the server. Because I couldn't perform any task such as backup and schedule to clearn virus at the weekend. One thing that I concern is about the scheudle to shutdown the server. Sometime the power was cut off before the schedule reach its time. My purpose it, how could we detect the UPS of the server when it detect that if there is no power supply around 30 second then it will shutdown the server. I know the command to shutdown the server immediately but i don't not know how could we detect the power on UPS when it is disconnect. Does anyone has any idea? Thank in advance!!!

What brand and model UPS is it?

What brand and model UPS is it?

Its model is APC SmartUPS 1500[^]
This model is equipped with both a USB and a serial connector. So you can connect a cable to the server and install the APCs own program (Powershute) for handling the shutdown of the server.

Thank in advanceIt most probably means that the UPS has been running after the power outtage the evening before until the battery is flat and then shuts off. It takes a day or so to recharge the battery to have what the UPS is considering to be enough power. The default setting of Powerchute, if I remember correctly, is to keep on running until there is five minutes of power left and then signal to the server to shut down. I would change this setting to shutting down the server five minutes after the power outtage. This way you're going to save a lot of battery life time, lead-acid batteries likes to stay fully charged. And the server will still be shut down is a nice way, which will keep your databases happy.

God!!! my office power just run from 7am to 7pm. And that time that we need to run our server. I don't know when the battery will be charge that UPS is considering to be enough power. As your expereince do you know how long (nearly exact time) that UPS could be fully charge?
