December 30, 20223 yr I have an APC UPS connected to my unRAID server. I have it configured to shut down my server properly, and it works, but I cannot figure out how to have it shut down my Ubuntu VMs before the server shuts down? I had a power outage this morning and I lost data on one of my VMs because it didn't shutdown properly, but unRAID did. I'm not very strong with Linux, so if there is a guide I can follow, that would be great. I've tried searching, but I haven't found anything that has been helpful. Thanks for your help, all!
December 30, 20223 yr Community Expert Check the action and timeout on advanced settings for VMs. You may need to adjust array stop timeout in disk settings too to be longer than that. Also make sure you have qemu-guest-agent installed on the VM. Edited December 30, 20223 yr by Kilrah
December 30, 20223 yr You can also install apcupsd inside your VM in slave mode, and tell it to start the shutdown process a few minutes before Unraid.
