Thread-topic: [Xen-users] UPS (Power) Monitoring on dom0...

>I have a USB-HID compatible UPS which is connected to my dom0 (CentOS 5.1) which is being monitored.  I have a bunch of domU's of >various OS'es, and was wondering if anyone has a solution to send the "state" of the UPS to the domU's (read-only).  I'd like that in the >event of a power-outage and the UPS's batteries are low that before dom0 shuts down, that all appropriate domU's are properly shutdown >before dom0 is shutdown.

I have the same scenario, I use apcupsd and wrote a bash script to be executed at shutdown instead of the normal one.

As I don’t use pv drivers for the windows hosts, I use a net command and send a shutdown. The bash script waits for them to shutdown and checks them with a loop.

 

Works effectively (at least in testing <grin>).
