I'm trying to control multiple servers (2 esxi + 2 freenas + centos) to automate shutdown.
my ups is using USB or RS232 ports.
in order to solve for the other machines even VMs i have installed a small vm with freebsd in one of the esxi hosts runing UPSMAN software as master controller and installed the RCCMD which is the client software in all others except the 2 freenas boxes.
is there any way for the ups service to receive tcp or udp message in order to initiate the shutdown?
can not use the serial because i have multiple srv to the same ups.
the other way is to to install the rccmd software on the freenas boxes but i don't know if any complication can arise with time. i'm not sure if any scrub in process or data writing to the pool (mostly backups over night) will be affected by having a shutdown command not originated from the usual service.
