NUT-IPMIPSU(8)			  NUT Manual			NUT-IPMIPSU(8)

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

SYNOPSIS
       nut-ipmipsu -h

       nut-ipmipsu -a PSU_NAME [OPTIONS]

	   Note
	   This driver is experimental, and still a work-in-progress. Feedback
	   is encouraged.

	   Note
	   This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the
	   nut-ipmipsu driver. For information about the core driver, see
	   nutupsdrv(8).

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:

       ·   manufacturer, model, serial and part numbers,

       ·   nominal voltage and frequency,

       ·   actual current and voltage,

       ·   status of the PSU:

	   ·	OL means that the PSU is present and providing power,

	   ·	OFF means that the PSU is present but not providing power
	       (power cable removed),

	   ·	stale (no data) means that the PSU is not present (ie
	       physically removed).

       Here is an example output for a Dell r610 server:
