Hi

One of my partner is aksing me why the ups command is deprecated in Data ONTAP 8.1 and NetApp monitoring support to UPS is limited.

https://kb.netapp.com/support/index?page=content&id=3013521&actp=search&viewlocale=en_US&searchid=1337094531669

Is UPS support ever going to come back for ONTAP ?

Regards,

We currently have no plans to re-introduce native UPS shutdown monitoring into ONTAP. One workaround would be to have a host that is attached to the UPS issue the halt command once all other hosts have powered themselves off, but regardless even without UPS monitoring the controller will maintain a storage consistent state with data either being on disk or in NVRAM in the event of complete power loss.

I saw in the 8.1.1 release notes that ups management was removed.
