Enter Y (you must uppercase) to indicate there are multiple UPS
devices servicing the VCX system.
-- upsipaddr <IP Address of the UPS>
Enter the IP address of the first UPS. Use dotted decimal notation but
do not enter leading zeros. For example, enter 10.230.63.3, not
010.230.063.003.
-- community <community string of the UPS>
Enter the SNMP community string configured on the first UPS to
enable communication between the master VCX server and the UPS.
Typically, the community string is private to allow Read or Write
access.
-- upsipaddr1 <IP Address of the second UPS>
Enter the IP address of the second UPS.
-- community1 <community string of the second UPS>
Enter the SNMP community string configured on the second UPS to
enable communication between the master VCX server and the UPS.

-- bcharge <UPS battery threshold charge>
Enter UPS battery threshold charge allowed before starting a
shutdown of the VCX system. The threshold charge is expressed as a
percentage of remaining battery power. The default is 25%. The
range from 25% to 75%.
The following example shows the syntax required to initially configure a
master VCX server:
vcx-ups-setup --master Y --monitormultipleups Y
--upsipaddr 10.230.63.3 --community private
--upsipaddr1 10.230.63.4 --community1 private --bcharge 33
When this command is executed:
■UPS monitoring is enabled on the current VCX server.
■The server is designated the master.
■The VCX system will be serviced by a multiple UPS devices.
■The IP address of the first UPS is 10.230.63.3.
■The community string the first UPS will use to communicate with the
master VCX server is private.
