NUT-IPMIPSU(8)
==============
NAME
----
nut-ipmipsu - Driver for IPMI Power Supply Units (PSU)
SYNOPSIS
--------
*nut-ipmipsu* -h
*nut-ipmipsu* -a 'PSU_NAME' ['OPTIONS']
NOTE: This driver is experimental, and still a work-in-progress. Feedback is
encouraged.
NOTE: This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the
nut-ipmipsu driver. For information about the core driver, see
linkman:nutupsdrv[8].
SUPPORTED HARDWARE
------------------
This driver should support a wide range of PSUs through local IPMI interface.
nut-ipmipsu currently use the GNU FreeIPMI project, for IPMI implementation.
EXTRA ARGUMENTS
---------------
This driver doesn't support any optional settings.
INSTALLATION
------------
This driver is not built by default. You can build it by using
"configure --with-ipmi=yes".
You also need to give proper permissions on the local IPMI device file
(/dev/ipmi0 for example) to allow the NUT user to access it.
An udev rules file (nut-ipmipsu.rules) is provided and automatically installed
on udev enabled system. This file is generally installed in /etc/udev/rules.d/
or /lib/udev/rules.d/ on newer systems, to address the permission settings
problem. For more information, refer to nut/scripts/udev/README.
INSTANT COMMANDS
----------------
This driver doesn't support any instant commands.
IMPLEMENTATION
--------------
The "port" value is used to identify the PSU. For instance, to target
FRU 0x2, use the following in *ups.conf*:
[pdu]
driver = nut-ipmipsu
port = id2
This driver will report various information related to a PSU, including:
- manufacturer, model, serial and part numbers,
- nominal voltage and frequency,
- actual current and voltage,
- status of the PSU:
* 'OL' means that the PSU is present and providing power,
* 'OB' means that the PSU is present but not providing power (power cable removed),
* 'stale' means that the PSU is not present (ie physically removed).
