Sample VCX Server Reconfiguration 115
Sample VCX Reconfiguration Script (continued)
---------- Configuring additional parameters for UPS Monitoring -----------
An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) can be used with VCX systems to avoid
disruption due to a power outage. VCX provides a UPS monitoring service
which tracks the UPS's status and performs a safe shutdown when the its
battery is depleted during a long power outage. To use this feature, you
must have a compatible UPS installed and configured in accordance with the
VCX documentation.
Enable UPS monitoring? [N] : y
If you do not have a UPS installed and enter N (or press Return or Enter),
the remaining UPS configuration prompts are not displayed.
It is possible to use multiple UPS units to power a single server if the
server has redundant power supplies with separate power connections.
Will multiple UPS's power this server? [N] : y
A single UPS can power one or more VCX systems. A UPS 'Master'
communicates directly with a UPS, while a 'Slave' communicates with the
Master to get UPS status. Only one 'Master' system should monitor a given
UPS. If this VCX system is the only one connected to the UPS, say 'Y'
here. Note: a VCX system's UPS Monitoring role is independent of any other
role it may have within a VCX deployment.
Do you want this server to be the master ? [N] : y
If you answer N to indicate that this server is a slave (not the master), you
will be prompted to enter the IP address of the master.
UPS Monitoring requires a network-enabled UPS. Enter the IP address
assigned to the UPS's management card or Ethernet interface. Note: The UPS
must already be configured with this address.
UPS IP address : 10.230.67.50
