I have those PSUs too, (Not what I tested with) and they're great for the $.Yeah might be the PSU. I normally use IPMI but was curious so i tried it. On my X10SLM+-F , set to Always ON and it worked fine. Shutdown, pull plug, wait a few seconds, plug it back in, powers on imeediately. So that one is working as expected. PSU is a Antec Earthwatts EA-380D (2U Norco Cases, best PSU with front to back airflow for them imo!)
Thanks for that! I picked up one just now. $150 shipped to my house with batteriesThe ones I picked up were:
APC UPS: 1440VA 120V SUA1500RM2U.
I already ordered it, so will see. Of course I was hoping for nice Web GUI Like 1-2-3. Go to my router, find IP, go to IP - setup. But looks like it's not the case? And what is "weird console cable"? Hopefully I won't need anything except for this card?The ap9617 should work fine if to listed as compatible for your machine. It uses a weird console cable if I recall. You can set the IP via DHCP, but unlike every other device on the planet you need to add some custom DHCP options to make it come up.
PCNS or powerchute for network servers is what want for software. I think the basic one is free but only does a handful of machines. I've never let it tell everything to shut down anyway - I point at a management system (usually vCenter) and then let that use powershell/expect/etc do the triggered shutdown orchestration once it gets a signal.
I was never able to make that work ;(I recommend the arp + ping method of setting a static IP on the management card rather than messing with the DHCP options.
Yes, it does look simple and a good way. But I first need to reset this device somehow? Log from router that I mentioned has this MAC on and off the list. And there is no host name on it. I'm just guessing it's correct MAC address. I don't have packing slip, is MAC somewhere on a board itself?edit: and as I previously mentioned, my preferred method of configuring access is on page 15 of the install guide
