NAME¶

powerman-pdu - Driver for Powerman PDU

SYNOPSIS¶

powerman-pdu -h

powerman-pdu -a PDU_NAME [OPTIONS]

Note

This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the powerman-pdu driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).

SUPPORTED HARDWARE¶

This driver supports a wide range of PDUs through the Powerman project.

This includes various models from APC, Baytech, Cyclades, but also support IPMI and various blade management modules from HP, IBM and Sun.

EXTRA ARGUMENTS¶

This driver doesn’t support any optional settings.

INSTALLATION¶

This driver is not built by default. You can build it by using "configure --with-powerman=yes".

UPS COMMANDS¶

The following instant commands (see upscmd(8)) are available for each outlet of the PDU, with X standing for the outlet number:

outlet.X.load.on

Power on the outlet.

outlet.X.load.off

Power off the outlet.

outlet.X.load.cycle

Cycle the outlet (power off then power on, possibly with a delay).

IMPLEMENTATION¶

The hostname of the Powerman server is specified using the "port" value in ups.conf, i.e.:

[pdu]


        driver = powerman-pdu


        port = host.example.com:port

The port used to reach powermand is optional if the default port is used.

KNOWN ISSUES¶

In the current NUT version as of this writing (2.4.1), ups.status is still exposed, with the value "WAIT". Some other values from the ups collection are also exposed.
