HOW TO CONFIGURE POWERCHUTE ON 10.1.1.4
Currently the ups is configured for apcupsd as described at the link
APCUPSD CONFIUGRATION
[1]
To configure powerchute on 10.1.1.4 follow these steps
Disconnect the machines from the current UPS which is of make Backups 1500 VA and connect the same to the old UPS.
Log on to 10.1.1.4 as root. Please remember that you would require RSA key for logging in.
The daemon that controls powerchute is
/etc/rc.d/upsd
The configuration file for powerchute is in the directory
/usr/local/powerchute
There are 2 files that need to be modified
powerchute.ini
- the configuration file for powerchute and
pcshut.sh
Check in the files before editing
cd /usr/local/powerchute
ci -l powerchute.ini
vi powerchute.ini
For configuring powerchute had to be disable and hence an entry has to be commented in powerchute.ini
Uncomment the entry
#DailyShutdownEnabled = No
Change this to
DailyShutdownEnabled = No
i.e. remove the preceeding '#'
You can modify additional parameters like "DailyShutdownTime" by studying the ini file
After modification has been done save and quit
ci -l powerchute.ini
Now we move on to editing the second file
pcshut.sh
cd /usr/local/powerchute
ci -l pcshut.sh with appropriate log message
vi pcshut.sh
Uncomment the lines
#su - upsuser -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/local/sbin/shutdownslaves.sh shutdown"
#/sbin/shutdown -h -y 0
Save and quit
ci -l pcshut.sh with appropriate log message
The required files have been edited. Now restart the daemon
/etc/rc.d/upsd restart
