For the next foray into the field of XS...
For those of you running XS, what are you doing about power management?
Multiple UPS for redundant power in case of a power outage. There is a way to get a I believe APC UPSs to work with XS.

Perhaps I should have been more specific.
How are you integrating your UPSes with XS?
-
@BRRABill this would be how it should be done.

I saw that method, but that requires a physical Windows machine, which isn't really a great option.
I am sure people here aren't doing that. ANd I know people run XS here, so just wondering.
I think I'm going to resurrect my old APC UPS and just hook it up to the network, and use local agents on all my VMs.
But again, just looking got a conversation.

P.S. Congrats on getting post #700 on my Field Report thread!

Maybe make a new topic, this one is quite drawn out. . .

(also it's a slow Wednesday)Well, it's only been a few minutes. I'll give it a little time, and if no bites, then I will start a new topic.

I plan on trying the "Citrix ready" Eaton IPM VM http://bit.ly/2etlIs2

That looks like a nice solution.
My Eaton is not network capable, so that would not be an option for me. (Without upgrading.)
Be very curious to hear how it goes though! Keep me/us updated!

@BRRABill What Eaton do you have?

@DustinB3403 How long have you been saving that line for ?

Not long, you commented, I quipped!

@DustinB3403 Props on the quick trigger!

Yeah, that would work.
I went with the 5S when I was going to use Hyper-V. Figured I'd just shutdown the host.
But anyway, I have some options here, just like I said seeing what others are doing, or THINKING of doing, even.

I really like the 5P/PX line from Eaton for pure-sine-wave units.

For me it was just a cost think.
The 5S 1500 was half the price, and that doesn't even include the network card you need to also purchase.
But of course if it doesn't work for me (which it will) the savings don't mean .... jack!
-
No more APC for me.
I also dig the Eaton 3yr battery warranty (you can extend to 5yr with additional $$)
