NAME¶

nut-ipmipsu - Driver for IPMI Power Supply Units (PSU)

SYNOPSIS¶

nut-ipmipsu -h

nut-ipmipsu -a PSU_NAME [OPTIONS]

SUPPORTED HARDWARE¶

This driver should support a wide range of PSUs through local IPMI interface.

nut-ipmipsu currently use the GNU FreeIPMI project, for IPMI implementation.

EXTRA ARGUMENTS¶

This driver doesn’t support any optional settings.

INSTALLATION¶

This driver is not built by default. You can build it by using "configure --with-ipmi=yes".

You also need to give proper permissions on the local IPMI device file (/dev/ipmi0 for example) to allow the NUT user to access it.

An udev rules file (nut-ipmipsu.rules) is provided and automatically installed on udev enabled system. This file is generally installed in /etc/udev/rules.d/ or /lib/udev/rules.d/ on newer systems, to address the permission settings problem. For more information, refer to nut/scripts/udev/README.

INSTANT COMMANDS¶

This driver doesn’t support any instant commands.

IMPLEMENTATION¶

The "port" value is used to identify the PSU. For instance, to target FRU 0x2, use the following in ups.conf:

[pdu]


        driver = nut-ipmipsu


        port = id2

This driver will report various information related to a PSU, including:
