I have Netra T1's I administrate though out the world, We just just put in Sun Netra's as (NAV) Norton Anti-virus servers. They work great .... except a couple of our sites have serious power problems. We have them on ups but usually at night when they go down no one is around. Well here is my problem they get brought down hard do to power failure and I am 2000 miles away. All mail gets stopped and I have to wait till some one comes in to type Cont-D and run a fsck on the box. Does anyone know how to set up a Netra so when it comes down hard to do a Auto Cont-D and run a fsck. Please if anyone can help I would really appreciate it. My bosses solution is to put in Windows 2000 Servers and I fell it would be a shame to switch. Thanks in advanced for ans suggestions.

Sun Nav Server keeps Bombing due to lack of PWR

in solaris 7+ use the 'logging' option
mounting all fs, you never will need 'fsck'
and the access to the fs is faster.
in /etc/vfstab:
if the last field is '-' change it to 'logging'
else append ',logging'
reboot the sys.
look for this in sun-faq -----------
when they don't ask you anymore, where they are come from, and they don't tell you anymore, where they go ... you'r getting older !

Mike's referring to a second connection from the UPS to the Netra, often a serial cable. You should be able to configure the UPS to send a shutdown signal to the system after a certain timeout when it detects a power loss. Annihilannic.

You can get some info from places like or other UPS manufacturers.
They can provide software that runs on your server and moniters the second serial port on the system. When power goes off the UPS sends a signal to the port which will initiate an orderly shutdown before the UPS loses too much power.
