With Windows server this was a easy thing, but now, how to?

Does someone have a solution here?

It is currently not an option to have an UPS to shut down the NEXIS on the event of power loss. This is planned for a future release.

Bob, do you have a link to the procedure with ISIS?

Following up on this. No updates? :-) Not seeing anything in the latest documentation.

A core part of every Avid admin's existence is the dreaded late-night power outage... it's really something that can be automated. Hell, for those who want to be extra cautious, allow setting a permission schedule; so auto-shutdown is enabled off-hours only.

(15 years ago I set up a Mac online bay, with an APC UPS and a serial port shutdown link. The instant I plugged in the cable to the Mac, BAM, the UPS turned itself off and took the bay down with it.)

Still not a feature in NEXIS. Talk to your friendly Avid Sales person.

This would be a great feature.

We also have a UPS but it's useless when the power runs out beyond bussiness hours.

So please, because reliability is important, make it happen.

Regards,

I've heard that Avid think it's no big deal if the power runs out....no danger. (well, you maybe lose 14 mins work in worst case if auto save is set on 15 mins)

Maybe more important to have surge protectors.

I would like to speak to the person who said that. Was he serious? I suppose Nexis has a very secret feature that any vendor of hardware would want to implement. But Avid keeps it for their own use because.... well because that feature doesn't exist.

It's nonsense. Losing power is very bad for any server, including Nexis.
