POWERMAN-PDU(8)

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 may be not built by default. You can build it by installing prerequisites and 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.
