Dual UPS System – Configuring a Slave VCX Server
To enable and configure a VCX server as a slave in a multiple UPS system:
1 Log in, using the root account, to the VCX server you want to designate
as a slave.
2 Enter the following command:
vcx-ups-setup <configuration_parameters>
You must concatenate the following
configuration parameters (responses are shown in bold):
-- master: N
Enter N (you must uppercase) to indicate that this server is not the
master.
-- monitormultipleups: Y
Enter Y (you must uppercase) to indicate there are multiple UPS
devices servicing the VCX system.
-- upsserver <IP Address of the master>
Enter the IP address (assigned to eth0) of the VCX server acting as the
master UPS monitor. Use dotted decimal notation but do not enter
leading zeros. For example, enter 10.230.63.3, not 010.230.063.003.
3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all the other VCX servers in your system that you
want to function as slaves.
