XCP 1.6 + EPEL 5 repo NUT setup (less file editing)
In this HOWTO I am using 2 Units rack-mounted UPS APC Smart-UPS SC1500 with COM-to-COM connection cable included with UPS. COM-to-USB seems to be more problematic in setup.
Check you COM port is available to OS
dmesg | grep ttyS [ 21.873093] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A [ 21.873290] serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A [ 21.874976] 00:09: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A [ 21.875207] 00:0a: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
If you can see this - seems like everything OK. If empty - check for disabled COM port at Integrated Peripherals in BIOS
Setup Epel repo
cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo << EOF [epel] name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 5 - $basearch baseurl=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/ failovermethod=priority enabled=0 gpgcheck=0 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL EOF
Install needed software from Epel repo
yum search nut --enablerepo=epel yum install nut --enablerepo=epel,base
Check access to /dev/ttyS0 device file
ls -l /dev/ttyS0 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 64 Jan 22 14:21 /dev/ttyS0
In our case wee need to add nut user into group uucp
usermod -G uucp nut
Setup NUT
cat >> /etc/ups/ups.conf << EOF
[apc1500]
driver = apcsmart
port = /dev/ttyS0
desc = "main UPS"
sdtype = 1
EOF
Add into corresponding part of file:
cat >> /etc/ups/upsd.users << EOF
[admin]
password = vVE69V_4vx
actions = SET
instcmds = ALL
vi /etc/ups/upsmon.conf MONITOR apc1500@localhost 1 admin vVE69V_4vx master
Change SHUTDOWNCMD in /etc/ups/upsmon.conf to
SHUTDOWNCMD "xe vm-shutdown --multiple power-state=running && /sbin/shutdown -h +0"
Start ups
/etc/init.d/ups start
Check UPS response
#upsc apc1500 battery.alarm.threshold: 0 battery.charge: 100.0 ...
Old HOWTO
Network UPS Tools are a handy set of tools for working with and managing and attached UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply).
The particular point of this howto is a simple example of how to configure NUT on a pair of Xen XCP dom0 hosts with the following assumptions:
host1 assumed to be attached via USB to the UPS device host2 on the same subnet as master, and is notified over TCP of changes in the power situation host1/host2 are assumed to be powered by the same UPS (e.g. as it was in our office when I wrote this example we had two servers plugged into the UPS) In the below example, host1's IP address is 192.168.41.21 The shutdown example below uses the "xe" command-line tool to shutdown any running XCP guests. I used a Powerware UPS, with the bcmxcp_usb USB driver included with NUT. You will certainly have to make adjustments as needed. This HowTo could definitely be improved by properly utilizing the 'nut' user account to run the management tools (my UPS had issues, so I gave up and ran everything as root), and also the init script could certainly be improved, it was written fairly quickly.
Install NUT on XCP host 1/2
wget http://download.alyseo.com:81/contrib/XenServer/v4.0.96/Nut/nut-2.2-1.i386.rpm rpm -i nut-2.2-1.i386.rpm
Create a basic init script as there doesn't seem to be one in the NUT package I used.
vi /etc/init.d/nut
# Only on HOST2
# Comment out the start/stop lines for upsd and upsdrv, just leave upsmon
# Edit the driver 'bcmxcp_usb' below to match the driver from /usr/local/ups/bin/ that you'll be using.
