Issue a clean shutdown from an APC UPS - Connect IT Community | Kaseya

SUMMARY

Shutdown a Recovery-Series system cleanly during an unplanned power outage.

ISSUE

During a power outage, the Unitrends Recovery-Series system needs to be shutdown cleanly. This article outlines how to implement this via APC UPS solutions.

RESOLUTION

Follow the procedure to setup APC UPS support on a Unitrends Recovery-Series system.

The Unitrends Recovery-Series system must be running CentOS 6.
How can I tell my version of CentOS Linux?
The APC ups must be directly connected to the Unitrends Recovery-Series system via a USB using a USB cable provided by the APC UPS vendor. The APC UPS must be connected prior to running the setup utility.
If the Unitrends system is not a CentOS 6 system or if the UPS is not connected to the Unitrends system, stop here and complete steps 1 and 2. This process will not work if these prerequisites are not met.
Access the Unitrends Recovery-Series system remotely using PuTTY. PuTTY will provide command line access to the system. Use the following command to verify the APC is connected using USB:
```
# ls /dev/usb | grep hid
```
Note: If nothing shows after running this command, please try a different USB port on the appliance. You should see a result looking similar to, "hiddev0".

Download the setup utility from the Unitrends FTP site. (Note: Incoming and outgoing FTP access is required during the installation process).

# cd /tmp 
# wget ftp://updateftp.unitrends.com/utilities/apc/gd-2.0.35-11.el6.x86_64.rpm
# yum  localinstall --nogpgcheck gd-2.0.35-11.el6.x86_64.rpm
# wget ftp://updateftp.unitrends.com/utilities/apc/apcConfig.sh 
# chmod +x apcConfig.sh

Execute the setup utility, then start the apcupsd service.

# ./apcConfig.sh
# service apcupsd start (a reboot will also start the service)

Verify the script is running.

# ps aux | grep apc
root      4649  0.0  0.0 104988   884 ?        Ssl  Nov05   0:07 /sbin/apcupsd -f /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf
root     22261  0.0  0.0 103248   904 pts/0    S+   09:37   0:00 grep apc

The script will configure the Unitrends Recovery-Series system to support a shutdown from an APC UPS via USB cable.

NOTES

For Unitrends Backup or Unitrends Virtual Backup products, a shutdown command may be configured within the hypervisor.
