[gentoo-user] Nut and networked UPS config

[Tanstaafl]

Hello all,

I have a network accessible UPS (Powerware 9150 with the network option 
installed), so am looking for tips on how to properly configure a gentoo 
VM running on ESXi to initiate a safe shutdown during an extended power 
outage via this network card.

Looks like nut has full support for this UPS, so hopefully it won't be 
too difficult...

The host is a Dell R515, which does have an iDRAC6 Enterprise card in 
it, but I'm not sure if I can utilize the BCM to talk to guest VMs 
running under ESXi?

Would appreciate any suggestions...
