The CONFIG.SYS was modified to add the Pwrchute
directory to the LIBPATH.
The variable SET PWRCHUTE=DRIVE:\PATH was also
added to the CONFIG.SYS.
The file STARTUP.CMD was modified/created
to auto start UPSD.EXE.
The UPS service routine path was modified to point to
the PowerChute install path.
Stand Alone OS/2:
Ensure that UPSD is the first command in
the STARTUP.CMD file.
Reboot the OS/2 system.
When the system restarts, ensure UPSD.EXE is
started and communication is established.
Lan Installations:
If LAN Servers' own (native) UPS service is
installed it has been removed for PowerChute
plus to work correctly.
If you are running PowerChute on more than
one server in your network, refer to the
PowerChute manual to add a PWRCHUTE account,
and Named pipe to your domain.
When starting the PowerChute interface screen
in a Domain with other PowerChute servers, not
all systems may appear in the "Select Server" dialog
upon startup.
If the server you wish to connect to is not in
the list, ensure that UPSD is running on that system.
If so, simply cancel out of the "Monitor Sever" box, and
choose "MONITOR DIFFERENT SERVER". This
will give the LAN enough time to gather all the
available servers.
OS/2 3.0 (WARP) Users
If you are using OS/2 Warp on an EISA machine, there
is the possibility that there is a problem with the
COM.SYS driver which ships with the software. This
driver is essential for the proper operation of PowerChute
plus. If you are having problems communicating with
the UPS, then contact IBM Tech Support at the number
on the inside of your OS/2 Warp Owner's Manual. You
will need to ask for APAR PJ15906.
EMAIL Support
