Information You Need Before Installing MPE/iX 6.5 PowerPatch 1
Patch MPELX33C
Patch MPELX33C
New UPS MONITOR (Version 8) and UPSUTIL Utility (Ver. A.01.03)
This patch enhances the UPS MONITOR subsystem to work with the new versions of HP
PowerTrust UPS hardware devices, called PowerTrust-II UPSs. The UPS MONITOR
remains backwards compatible with the older PowerTrust UPSs as well.
In addition, this patch enhances UPS MONITOR and its companion UPSUTIL utility
program to permit the system manager to configure UPS MONITOR's handling of **
RECOVERY FROM POWERFAIL ** messages that occur as a result of an AC power
failure and power restoration cycle.
The ** RECOVERY FROM POWERFAIL ** messages may be configured to be sent to the
system console and to all logged-on user terminals, as has been done traditionally on MPE
systems, or may be configured to be sent ONLY to the system console.
This configuration is accomplished by providing a UPS Monitor Configuration File that
will be read and processed by UPS MONITOR each time the system is started (booted).
By default, UPS MONITOR Version 8 will look for file UPSCNFIG.PUB.SYS at system
startup time, and, if that file exists, will process that file as the UPS Monitor Configuration
File. If that file does not exist, then UPS Monitor will self-configure using a default
internal configuration. In this case, the system operator will be notified by a system
console message during system startup that the file UPSCNFIG.PUB.SYS does not
exist. The operator can then create the UPSCNFIG.PUB.SYS file and either re-boot the
system to activate it, or use UPSUTIL's interactive commands to activate the
configuration file.
The UPSUTIL utility program for UPS Monitor management has been enhanced with a
new command, called "newconfig", which will allow the system manager to select and
activate any particular UPS Monitor configuration file he wishes, online -- while the
system is running.
The details of the UPSUTIL "newconfig" command, and the details of UPS Monitor
Configuration Files are presented in the rest of this article.
UPSUTIL's NEWCONFIG COMMAND
The NEWCONFIG command causes UPSUTIL to instruct the UPS Monitor subsystem to
begin using a new UPS Monitor configuration file, specified by the user in the
NEWCONFIG command. (The NEWCONFIG command executor prompts the user to
enter the file name of the desired new UPS Monitor configuration file.)
A UPS Monitor configuration file is a simple ASCII line-oriented text file that the user can
create with a text editor. Conceptually, the file contains a set of UPS Monitor configuration
commands which establish various operating characteristics or options in the UPS
Monitor. In its first implementation (March 2000) the NEWCONFIG configuration file
permits only one kind of UPS Monitor configuration option to be set: namely, the option to
have the UPS Monitor's "** RECOVERY FROM POWERFAIL **" messages either routed
to the system console and to all logged-on user terminals, or to have those messages sent
only to the system console, and not to any user terminals. This configuration option is
