APC UPS PowerChute does not support HyperV

[Freak1]

Hi there.

So i setup my Smart-UPS 2200 and got the latest PowerChute Business Edition installed it and i says i need to buy deluxe version to use it with HyperV, wtf...

So is there a way to get around that, im not about to spend more money on software that was suppose to come with the UPS.

I guess no one can help with this?

HyperV runs on Windows Server 2008, are you not able to set up a safe shutdown through the control panel anywhere? I am surprised that PowerChute would request you purchase a higher edition.

Is a safe shutdown sequence all that you're trying to set up?

Thanks Tony.

I might be able to do it through controll panel haven't really thought about that. I will check that.

I never really worked with UPS before so im not sure what PowerChute is able to do. Yes safe shutdown sequence is the most important thing. But i would also like to se how many watts my setup is using and how long it can remain online in the event of a powerout. I guess i need the PowerChute software for that right?
