My system (details in signature) is plugged into a Cyberpower CP1500AVRLCD UPS. I have connected that UPS to the FreeNAS with a USB cable and enabled the UPS service. The UPS can provide power for the server for about an hour if there is an outage. I have the service initiate a shutdown as soon as the battery issues a "low battery" message.
In the past week, we have had 3 relatively short (<30 minute) power outages in my neighborhood. On each of these occasions the UPS has performed as it should, but it also seems to issue the "low battery" signal awfully quickly. One of the outages was while I was home and awake and it literally was less than 2 minutes. I received low battery warnings on all 3 occasions and the server gracefully shut down each time.
Does anyone have any more experience with these types of things? The battery seems to be in proper working order, and it is less than 3 years old. Is there any better software I could load in a VM or jail to get better power management?
Thanks in advance.
