.sp .5v
.RE
.SH "SUPPORTED HARDWARE"
.sp
This driver supports a wide range of PDUs through the Powerman project\&.
.sp
This includes various models from APC, Baytech, Cyclades, but also support IPMI and various blade management modules from HP, IBM and Sun\&.
.SH "EXTRA ARGUMENTS"
.sp
This driver doesn\(cqt support any optional settings\&.
.SH "INSTALLATION"
.sp
This driver is not built by default\&. You can build it by using "configure \-\-with\-powerman=yes"\&.
.SH "UPS COMMANDS"
.sp
The following instant commands (see \fBupscmd\fR(8)) are available for each outlet of the PDU, with \fBX\fR standing for the outlet number:
.PP
\fBoutlet\&.X\&.load\&.on\fR
.RS 4
Power on the outlet\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBoutlet\&.X\&.load\&.off\fR
.RS 4
Power off the outlet\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBoutlet\&.X\&.load\&.cycle\fR
.RS 4
Cycle the outlet (power off then power on, possibly with a delay)\&.
.RE
.SH "IMPLEMENTATION"
.sp
The hostname of the Powerman server is specified using the "port" value in \fBups\&.conf\fR, i\&.e\&.:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
[pdu]
        driver = powerman\-pdu
        port = host\&.example\&.com:port
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
The port used to reach \fIpowermand\fR is optional if the default port is used\&.
.SH "KNOWN ISSUES"
.sp
In the current NUT version (2\&.4\&.1), ups\&.status is still exposed, with the value "WAIT"\&. Some other values from the ups collection are also exposed\&.
