This could be really great - just a small spanner in the works and I assume, not by design? Just give the power plan a graceful shutdown option, and everyone here will be happy I suspect! The host and VMs just die like you pulled the plug. Sadly, what actually happens is not shut down, but 'turn off'. The big failure - when the power plan reaches the point of shut down, it should gracefully shut down the host OS, which should wait for the guest VMs to shut down first (as it does if you shut the host manually). You can set warning and critical battery levels (I chose 50% and 25% respectively in the test), and you can set warning and critical actions - pop-up for warning level - shutdown for critical. You can create a new laptop type power plan - with different settings for battery and mains use. removing the mains supply obviously switches everything over to battery power and the systray icon correctly reflects this, showing the battery life remaining. The battery indicator correctly displays the UPS battery charge - just like a laptop. I recently added a small APC 350 and then became very frustrated with what seems to be lack of support for a pretty basic need - that the host OS shuts down gracefully when the battery runs flat! Otherwise, why did I buy the thing? I noticed that connecting the UPS comm USB cable turns the server into a laptop! No software, no config - just plug the USB cable and watch the laptop power management icon appear in the systray. By correct use of Integration Services the VMs gracefully shut down or snapshot when the host OS shuts down.

Contact your ISP for information on the protection of components between your locations.īob - it's not idiocy - I investigated this and everything seemed so promising, but there's a problem (which I'll get to)! I'm running W2k8 Standard 圆4 full server, which runs Hyper-V and several VMs. When using a geocluster to perform migrations, make sure every component used in these scenarios are UPS protected. When using network connected UPSs, also connect your network components to the UPS.

When looking at the PCBE8 compat chart.pdf I noticed APC Powerchute Business Edition software is available for Server Core installations of Windows Server 2008.
The APC PowerChute software is especially powerful when you're running a geographically dispersed failover cluster ('geocluster') of Hyper-V servers: You can create Powershell scripts in System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) to migrate the virtual guests to the other location (where there's no power outage?) and shut down the guest remotely with the script, triggered by the APC Powerchute software. When you shutdown a single host running Hyper-V it will pause all guests and shutdown.
Since HP Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs) are rebranded APC units, you can use the HP or APC software to remotely shutdown the virtual host. When it's a physical box you can connect to and manage network, USB- and serial connected UPS's (as long as the box offers the right physical connectors and right amount of them) When the server running System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) is running virtually you can connect to, and manage network connected UPSs.

Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs) can be configured using network connections, USB connections and some solder models through serial connections.
