NAME

       powerman-pdu - Driver for Powerman PDU

SYNOPSIS

       powerman-pdu -h

       powerman-pdu -a PDU_NAME [OPTIONS]

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

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

       This driver supports a wide range of PDUs through the Powerman project.

       This includes various models from APC, Baytech, Cyclades, but also support IPMI and various blade management modules from HP, IBM and Sun.

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-powerman=yes".

UPS COMMANDS

       The following instant commands (see upscmd(8)) are available for each outlet of the PDU, with X standing for the outlet number:

       outlet.X.load.on
	   Power on the outlet.

       outlet.X.load.off
	   Power off the outlet.

       outlet.X.load.cycle
	   Cycle the outlet (power off then power on, possibly with a delay).

IMPLEMENTATION

       The hostname of the Powerman server is specified using the "port" value in ups.conf, i.e.:

	   [pdu]
		   driver = powerman-pdu
		   port = host.example.com:port

       The port used to reach powermand is optional if the default port is used.

KNOWN ISSUES

       In the current NUT version (2.4.1), ups.status is still exposed, with the value "WAIT". Some other values from the ups collection are also
       exposed.
