Configuring UPS Connections
If you connected an optional UPS to your NAS server during installation, the
NAS server attempts to communicate with the UPS through a serial
connection.
To set up and monitor a UPS connection for your NAS server:
1
The APC UPS has only one serial port. The NAS server, however, has two
ports. Connect the UPS serial port to the COM1 port on the back of the
NAS server. See the
HP Surestore NAS 8000 Installation Guide
for more
detailed information.
2
In the Command View NAS web interface, click the Configuration tab.
3
Navigate down the tree and select UPS.
4
Select Actions > Edit UPS Setting.
5
Select the appropriate UPS, then click OK.
After you make the connections and configure the device, the NAS server:
■
Monitors the status of the UPS. If the UPS ever defaults to battery power,
the system reports the status as an event, which is passed along to a
management station as an SNMP trap.
■
Manages a graceful shutdown of the server and the storage array in the
event that the battery runs too low.
