I have configured APC PowerChute to shutdown my servers during a power loss after a certain interval and restart after power is restored. I would like to do the same for FreeNAS as well. Right now the ESXI host is perfectly configured to bring down the various VM's during power loss based on their priority and back up when power is restored.
My APC UPS model is a SUA2200RM2U. I do know there is a service available for APC in FreeNAS, but my model number is not on that list.
What is the closes model i can choose for this, or if i can even do that?
As an interim measure, I have tried to trigger the shutdown from a standalone PowerChute controlled on a Windows 10 machine using a script and plink app.
It works fine, but i have to manually start the FreeNAS server when power is restored.
If i use the halt option it reboots fine after power is restored. But with the halt option, i don't see FreeNAS server completely go offline, and ssd on which the logs are moved to is still active..
Please guide. Is halt option ok? Or I can use a different model in the services section under FreeNAS for my ups. (Model number: SUA2200RM2U) which one?
