HP UPS Shutdown Order
Hi,
I've got several servers all of which are powered by a HP RT3000 UPS with an integrated management module. I have the HP UPS Power Management Agent installed on each server and whenever we have a power event like a blip in the supply, everything keeps running and all the servers popup with a message saying "shutting down in 15 minutes". The power comes back a fraction of a second later and the shutdown is cancelled. All Good.
But, how do I control the order the servers shutdown in. On the UPS Management Module under attached devices I have my 4 servers (2 DCs, 1 Exchange, 1 File) and have shutdown OS times for each (2 mins for DCs, 5 mins for Exchange, 1 min for File). On the Power Faill screen they all are in Load Segment 1 and have a time of 15 mins, which is what comes up in a power event.
How though do I tell it to shutdown the Exchange server first after say 10mins, then 5 mins later shutdown the DCs 1 at a time with a minute gap? Can't see how to do this.
Thanks!
Andy

For the DCs/Exchange, I just moved them to different load segmants on the UPS config (they are spread across them both on the UPS anyway) and set the timers different. So now my main exchange and 2 DC shutdown first, then 5 minutes later my last DC (and legacy exchange) which is also my primary DNS will shutdown. Should work OK I guess now.
Thanks anyway guys.
