UPS monitoring
NAS model - ReadyNAS Duo v1, loaded with 2x2TB HDD's. UPS model - Belkin F6H350UK-UNV Problem:- NAS will not monitor UPS - On System/Power/UPS Configuration window, the following message is display...
Thanks everyone for all your input. It's helped me to finally come up with a solution that works for me. Remember that a lot of my kit is old, so it doesn't have latest support.
My setup is as follows:-
- 1 x Belkin UPS (F6H350UK-UNV);
- 1 x Salicru UPS (SPS One);
- 1 x Office PC (Dell XPS 8500) [Windows 7 Home Premium];
- 1 x Network PC (Dell Vostro 220) [Windows 7 Professional SP1];
- 1 x Netgear NAS (ReadyNAS Duo V1) [Firmware 4.1.16].
I monitor the SPS One with the Vostro 220, using "ViewPower" software and
the Belkin with the XPS 8500 using "Belkin Power Management Software for Windows" (Version V3.22m) (BPM).
Power failure shutdown is achieved by -
- BPM shutting down the Office PC from within its program;
- ViewPower shutting down the Network PC from within its program;
- ViewPower shutting down the NAS by running a DOS Batch file on shutdown, containing a 'cURL' script [curl -k https://xxx.xxx.x.x/get_handler -u admin:<password> -d PAGE=System -d OUTER_TAB=tab_shutdown -d INNER_TAB=NONE -d shutdown_option1=1 -d command=poweroff -d OPERATION=set].
This is very much a 'Heath Robinson' setup but my costs for it have been £30 for the Salicru UPS and £25 for the 2nd-hand Dell; I think I've got good value for money!
Once again, thanks to everyone for their contributions.
If you want to continue down that road and need it to work when nobody is logged into the PC, you probably need to set up the NAS software to run as a system task at power-on via the Windows Task Scheduler.
