Shutdown Multiple Servers

[Mr_Jiminy]

1 UPS, 2 Servers.

The UPS doesn't have a network management card.

Limited budget.

 

I'd like the server communicating with the UPS, to issue a shutdown command, when it shuts down, to tell the second server to commence with a shutdown.

 

I've tried adding a remote shutdown script to gpedit local on the primary server, however it doesn't seem to trigger on a shutdown. It does however execute manually.

Is your switch on the UPS too? (Linking the servers).

 

Any shutdown script should work if so, but remember if it's not on a UPS it can't talk once power goes

Switch isn't on the UPS.

 

No issues with the second server not coming back up immediately.

[Steve21]

What I mean though is if you're failing over to UPS, I assume your power has gone, so how are these two servers going to talk to eachother?

Figured it, found the configuration in the Tripp Lite UI.

Agreed, if switch isn't on ups then the second server wouldn't be reachable in a power out and your config will be pointless to try and shutdown a second server if only one server has direct connection to ups.
