to the network. In
NFP Storage Manager
, go to
Toolkit
à
UPS
Management
, and select
Control UPS by SNMP, using the following
settings:
1.
Probing interval and Delayed before shutdown
The system will use the time interval set for
Prob ing interval
to check
the status of the UPS. If an AC power failure or a low battery warning
occurs, the system will wait for the time entered under
Delayed before
shutdown
before shutting down, unless the problem is remedied during
that time.
2.
UPS IP address and UPS community
UPS equipped with SNMP faculties will be assigned an IP address.
Enter this IP address in the respective column. In the SNMP user
interface of the UPS terminal certain communities will be registered,
each community containing one or more host names and IP addresses.
These hosts can be trusted and can read information from the UPS. If
you want to control the UPS via SNMP, you must register
NASolution
Network Filer Plus
in one of the communities listed, then enter the
name of the community in the
UPS community
field.
3.
UPS enterprise OID
This setting can be found in the MIB file of the UPS. If UPS supports
SNMP access, the manufacturer has added an MIB file to the
documentation. Download the file from the manufacturer’s web site if
necessary. Look in the file for the
Private Enterprise Number
. APC’s
Private Enterprise Number is 318, so the value of this field should read
1.3.6.1.4.1.318
, whereby
1.3.6.1.4.1
is static and must not be changed.
You can also use an SNMP program such as
HP OpenView
to browse
through the MIB file and retrieve the
Private Enterprise Number
.
4.
Battery Status OID
This setting refers to the
battery status OID
in the MIB file. The value
for the APC UPS is
1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.1.1
. Enter this value, or the
short form
1.1.1.2.1.1
, if you are using an APC product.
5.
Normal status
The
battery status OID
(see above) obtained from the MIB file
represents a number of states, e.g.,
2
for
battery normal
,
1
and
3
for
unknown
or
battery low
respectively.
