I have one of my Open-E which is not connected directly to UPS, my UPS Unit is connected to a management server with Network Management Proxy from MGE. I have to manage the UPS to shutdown ESXi Server.
Can i use the Slave Mode from OpenE to connect to this software from MGE ?
I understood that i can put my OpenE in slave mode but my question is : "Is Slave Mode compatible with the software from MGE ? The Network Management Proxy."
I find too thtat OpenE seem to be compatible with NUT as slave but i dont want to put a specifix Linux on my network only for UPS.
I configured my OpenE as Master.
With WinNUT Client 1.5 installed on my XP i can monitor my UPS connected to Open but it doesn't give me a lot of information (only STATUS)...
I'll try to make my own "shutdown" module managed by WinNUT and let OpenE shutdown himself.
If yours engineers integrate "Network Shutdown Module" in OpenE it's really a very good point for your software because this module is compatible with VMware ESX, Virtual Center, Windows, Linux etc...
