UPS power-on behavior?

Hi all. I've got a question that's been bugging me for the past couple weeks.
I run a G4 Cube as my personal web and file server. I'd like to add a UPS to the mix.
The reading I've done indicates that I can configure a UPS to initiate a shutdown on the Cube in the event of power failure. Thus, by the time the UPS battery runs out of juice, the Cube itself has already shutdown gracefully.
I've also been reading that it's possible to have the computer power-on/startup automatically when power is restored to the UPS. For x86/PC machines, this behavior is apparently controlled with a BIOS setting (i.e. "always on," "start with power," or some such).
Is there any way to get my Cube to power-on/start up automatically when the UPS restores power? OSX's "restart automatically after power failure" setting doesn't seem to work here... it only seems to work with abrupt shutdowns (i.e. when you yank the plug without a graceful system shutdown).
Any help is appreciated,
--MW

Is this what you are talking about?

Running a shell command when UPS power is active.

I am hoping someone can help me create a shell command that will execute an automator workflow to send an email when my server has switched to UPS power.
I've created an automator workflow that opens mail, creates an email, and sends it. Now I need to create a way to execute the workflow when the server switches from AC power to UPS power.
Is this whole setup even possible? I have never written apple shell commands before so that is where I need the most help.
Thanks!

How much UPS power for a Mac Pro?

I think if I buy a Mac Pro I'll need up grade my UPS. The electrical requirements don't specify the supply power, so I'm not sure how big my UPS should be. I want to purchase the smallest UPS possible to give me a few minutes of protection, but I don't want to buy a 100-pound monster if I don't have to.
I know that the actual power drawn depends on the specific configuration, so a Mac with four video cards will use more than the base model. I'm just hunting for an estimate.
I plan to get a 2.66GHz with a couple of hard drives and the base 7300 video card.
Thanks.

My personal Pro level favourites are the APC BACK-UPS RS 800VA, 1000VA and 1500VA models…
http://www.apc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=23
The 800VA model is especially efficient and probably more suited to what you're after. The 1000VA model isn't the smallest UPS I've seen so be sure to clearly check the dimensions.
Remember that your UPS will be supplying power to not only uour Mac Pro but your display and other peripherals as well so stepping up a bit is well worth it.

While that is true and people simply assembling their computer or installing parts incorrectly is a source for even more bad reviews, newegg is large enough that you'll get the real truth. Then there's people like me who review almost everything I buy there just to help out other people. For example:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204
2,717 5 star reviews.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021
5,942 total reviews
They carry 554 cases. That's the best one. See, you can find out that easily lol.
It works for brands too. 7 out of the top 10 sets of RAM are made by Gskill.
http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=147&name=Desktop-Memory&Order=RAT ING
Someone on this forum earlier was saying Gskill was awful. THE WORST! Well, about 10,000 reviews say something different, lol.
Why use outdated, biased opinions about a brand when you can simply see what thousands of other people thought of it. If 1000 people say one thing and you think another, chances are the 1000 are more accurate. That's why I love newegg.

One APC UPS power supply to two Mac Mini via one USB control cable

Is it possible to use one APC UPS to control two Mac Mini to shut down when on UPS? The APC unit only has one USB control cable.

I wouldn't buy a PSU today for a high-performance system for any reason unless all of the voltage rails were separately supplied. AFAIK, only the Antec TruePower series and the PC Power & Cooling psu's can make that claim. Everyone else splits between the 5v and 3v rails, it seems to me--ie, with shared voltage rails the problem can be that when either the 3v or 5v rail demands more power then power is leeched from the shared rail to compensate. If devices on the shared rail need the power, though, then the voltage dip can cause problems with the devices on that rail and system instability (BSOD, etc.) can result. When all of your rails are powered seperately, though, all you have to consider is buying the psu that supplies the maximum you anticipate needing for each rail (with some headroom of course) and you eliminate the shared-rail power dip (a fairly common, often misdiagnosed problem) as a potential problem in your system.
No question PCP&C makes the best psu's money can buy, but I opted for the Antec True-Power 550 True Control instead simply because I can buy two TP550's for the price of one equivalent PCP&C cpu, and the TP 550 offers a few bells and whistles not offered by PCP&C (such as the intake fan which helps cool the TP 550's innards and improves its efficiency.) All psu's lose efficiency the higher their internal temps go, but of them all the PCP&C psus are the least affected by efficiency loss generated by rising operating temperatures--which is probably why they don't need a separate intake cooling fan like the TP 550. But the TP 550 has the intake fan nonetheless and is 1/2 the price of the PCP&C psu, and if memory serves the Antec fans are a good deal more quiet than the single fan used by PCP&C. So it's just a matter of studying the specs and the prices and choosing the one you want. But I'd constrain myself to these two brands because neither shares voltage rails internally.

Gracefully Shutdown Virtualized SQL 2012 Server on Battery (UPS) Power?

I have a VMWare ESXi 5.1 environment with a 2012 R2 SQL Server that hosts all of our databases and functions as the Report Server. I am the only on-site IT person and as such am responsible for database administration. I have done a lot of reading on database corruption and have determined that a hard shut down will very likely cause issues. We have a UPS, but I wantto be prepared for the worst case scenario.
We work with an MSP for high level networking issues and I have been requesting help with this for several weeks to no avail. I have been told a hard shut down will not negatively effect my SQL Server (this individual has virtually no SQL experience).
Can anyone point me in the right direction? This is keeping me awake at night!

Odd power management behavior

MY screen will go black, as if the cable from the monitor was pulled, every 30 ish seconds, like power mgt is kicking in, anything I can do to correct this?

Either you’ve messed with the Preferences > Junk Mail > Advanced settings, or those settings have become corrupt, or you have one or more rules that have a bearing on this.
Assuming it isn’t the latter, try this:
1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, disable junk mail filtering, then enable it again. This resets the rule that governs what the junk filter does.
2. Choose either Training or Automatic mode (it doesn’t matter) and leave the other options checked. Click Advanced to see how the junk filter rule is defined now if you want, but don’t touch anything there.
3. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).

Hi Herik
thanks for your answer,
but i think your answers does support ThinkPad and not pc Lenovo G530 4446-24G.

and you wrote me this one :
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70601
so are all other drivers you wrote.
Herik -did you test the issue in pc Lenovo G530 4446-24G specifically?
i found a Downloads and drivers for my pc here

Best UPS power supply?

I've got a 2.8 GHz quad-core Mac Pro, 17" monitor, and three internal hard drives, and I'm looking to buy a UPS for my system. The APC configuration tool indicates that I need at least 850VA output for the UPS. Anyone have recommendations of one brand over another, based on reliability or Mac configuration software?

That is way too low. You need at least 1300VA / 865W.
I switched from decades of APC to CyberPower.

Disable UPS battery power popups

Is there a way to disable the "Your computer is now running on UPS backup batter power" popup in SLS?
Since it's a server, it's not like someone is sitting there watching the attached monitor, as there isn't any.
I'd like for this to not pop up. Anyone know of a way? It seems to come up every time there is any sort of brief power issue. I know I can disconnect the UPS cable from the server, but, I of course would prefer a graceful shutdown.

In my case our power is fine but I think the computer is perhaps testing whether UPS power is online every week or so. When I don't check a serve via ARD at least once per week, I see one alert (and if I don't check for a month, 4 alerts... etc).
With these same servers I did not have the issue (and still do not with others) in 10.5.x so I have to assume its a SL server thing as I assumed above.

APC UPS & gnome-power-manager

Hi there,
I am running gnome-power-manager on a system which is connected to an APC Back-UPS CS 500. It appears gnome-power-manager fails to recognize the UPS, however. In the preferences window, I only have an "On AC Power" and a "General" tab. AFAIK there ought to be an "On UPS Power" tab as well.
The UPS is connected correctly, as I can query it via apcaccess.
Any hints?
Edit: Just found http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=75730
Gonna see if this fixes it.

Problems with Uninterruptible Power Supply on an OS X Server 10.6

Hello
Since years we are working with OS X Server on different Hardware (macmini, MacPro, Xserve) using Uninterruptible Power Supplies from APC. Till 10.6 without any problems
Since we installed our new server with 10.6, I recognized the communication with the APC (Uninterruptible Power Supply) and the OS X Server with the USB-Cable is very irrealible. When we look to the screen of the server there appears lots of Windows with an Error Message that the Power was interrupted. I also have the problem recognized on an OS X Server which I updated from 10.5 to 10.6 (On 10.5 I never had this warnings)
I can't image that this is a problem of the Source. We here in Switzerland have a very relealible Source with an Uptime off at least 99.99%
Has some recognized the same behavior with the new OS X server 10.6
Gérard

Is it saying that your machine went on UPS power (the error messages you're referring to)? I ask because I have noticed this on two new xServes I setup recently on APC UPS (which are also brand new). About once a week, I'll see an error on each xServe that it was on UPS power but by the time I see it, its on standard power again.
I haven't spent much time on it yet since these are both pre-production test servers until I work out some kinks but I was assuming it was some kind of test by the UPS where it was checking the battery and placing units on backup power periodically as some sort of self test? That's probably not correct though considering you're experiencing the issue as well.
Perhaps it is time to place a call in and see if apple is aware of any issues since I'm only seeing this on 10.6 servers.

UPS features, can these be managed?

I probably should ask this on another forum but I figure someone here can help me and I trust you all with my Mac! And of course it is the weekend so I can't call APC and I'd like to figure this out before Monday if posibble.
The APC UPS item BR1200 that I am considering says it has the following features among many others:
a. Audible Alarms: Provides notification of changing utility power and UPS conditions.
b. Automatic restart of loads after UPS shutdown: Automatically starts up the connected equipment upon the return of utility power.
a. Does anyong know if you can shut off the audible alarms on these products?
b. If the computer is OFF when the power goes off, will it still be restarted when utility power returns?
And, if I shut off the computer successfully when the power goes off and it is running on battery, will it still come ON when the power returns?
Most importantly - is there a way to change these settings?
Thanks,
Mrs H

Hi,
From the APC web site:

Version 1.3.3
• Mac OS X 10.3.9 - 10.4.1
So, You apparently have 10.4.11 so I would NOT try to install the APC PCPE software. When I emailed APC about the lack of software for Leopard OS X 10.5.x they replied:
“When Apple released native UPS support back in the early days of Mac OS X Tiger 10.4, the need to run PowerChute Personal Edition in its current form effectively ended.
You will notice that as soon as your APC UPS is connected via USB to your Mac running Tiger or Leopard, the UPS is detected.”
I think APC was just too lazy to write the proper software for Macs. I think Windows also has default software for UPS but APC takes the trouble to write Windows software. As with printer drivers, When you use the manufacturer supplied software you typically get more features than if you use the default. We cannot do this so are stuck with the Mac default which I guess is good enough. I wish I could see time remaining though.
So, whenever you wish to use your Mac you boot it from scratch? Wow. Even during my PC days, I always left the computer running 24/7. I did & still do , set the display to power off after a period of ~ 10 minutes & after 30 minutes have the HD shut down. So power consumption is minimal.
This is my 1st UPS since I didn’t have space for one before. My rationale is to not have the computer crash if the power goes off for even 10 seconds whether I’m using it or am away. It is not so I can continue working for an hour till the power comes back on. I’m still trying to discover exactly how much runtime I will get since it is not displayed.
You do not have to select an option for all 3 shutdown settings.
I set mine to Shutdown computer When time left on UPS power is 5 minutes, Shutdown computer When UPS power level drops to 15%.
I did not Check the top one.
I just want to make sure that the Mac has enough time to close programs & power off properly b4 the loss of power causes a crash.
I think the UPS will do whichever occurs 1st. So, if I say shut down when 15% & 5 minutes remains & say I actually only get 10 total minutes of runtime --When 5 minutes are remaining it is only at 50% but will still shut down. That is if it can even tell how many minutes, I bet it cannot. But it DOES display % so, I think I am safe.
Good luck.

Issues configuring network-ups-tools with Powerware 5110

Been using Arch for about 24hrs now (It replaced RHEL5 which was running for 18mths) and I'm very impressed. Have found it very good for a new user, the extensive wiki's have been a huge help to get things going. Under RHEL I really needed to do a lot of google searching to get things working but have only had to do it twice for the same build under Arch. I was able to fix the first issue (wTorrent wiki missed install of php-sqlite) and now network-ups-tools.
I had it working 100% under RHEL so its not a device/hardware issue that I can see. But under Arch I keep getting connection lost messages after starting the ups daemon.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction to get this fixed. I did not install any packages manually, everything has been done via pacman (system is fully up to date as per the time of this post.)

Sure, it was put there by the package retrieved from the default repo by pacman as was everything else. All I did was modify a few files in /etc/ups so all user/permissions etc should be setup correctly by the package?

Hopefully someone else stops by, but really appreciate your help. I'm sure its something small that I'm overlooking!
R00KIE wrote:forget about your config files for a moment and try something different and check if it works
Things is, NUT is fairly simple to begin with, there is really only 3 items you need to get it to work that I can see. The UPS driver, upsd user and monitor line.

UPS power-on behavior?
