7 nut-ipmipsu - Driver for IPMI Power Supply Units (PSU)
14 *nut-ipmipsu* -a 'PSU_NAME' ['OPTIONS']
16 NOTE: This driver is experimental, and still a work-in-progress. Feedback is
19 NOTE: This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the
20 nut-ipmipsu driver. For information about the core driver, see
26 This driver should support a wide range of PSUs through local IPMI interface.
28 nut-ipmipsu currently use the GNU FreeIPMI project, for IPMI implementation.
34 This driver doesn't support any optional settings.
39 This driver is not built by default. You can build it by using
40 "configure --with-ipmi=yes".
42 You also need to give proper permissions on the local IPMI device file
43 (/dev/ipmi0 for example) to allow the NUT user to access it.
45 An udev rules file (nut-ipmipsu.rules) is provided and automatically installed
46 on udev enabled system. This file is generally installed in /etc/udev/rules.d/
47 or /lib/udev/rules.d/ on newer systems, to address the permission settings
48 problem. For more information, refer to nut/scripts/udev/README.
53 This driver doesn't support any instant commands.
58 The "port" value is used to identify the PSU. For instance, to target
59 FRU 0x2, use the following in *ups.conf*:
65 This driver will report various information related to a PSU, including:
67 - manufacturer, model, serial and part numbers,
68 - nominal voltage and frequency,
69 - actual current and voltage,
72 * 'OL' means that the PSU is present and providing power,
73 * 'OFF' means that the PSU is present but not providing power (power cable removed),
74 * 'stale' (no data) means that the PSU is not present (ie physically removed).
