Is shutdown of SG210 necessary in case of power outage

Erik Puscher

Hello community,

 

i am writing a emergency paper in case of a power outage.

A uninterruptible power supply will give a view minutes reaction time.

A plan for shutting down servers was made.

What about the SG210? Is it necessary or recommended to shutting down the device?

Or may i let the fading power do this?

    For webadmin you can create an administrator with restricted rights.

    Possible you can shutdown via REST-API using this administrator.

    If you wish to use SSH (i use a SSH-script to shutdown my test-system) you have to use the loginuser account and grant rights for shutdown for this user.

    @C:\Users\xxx\plink.exe -v -ssh loginuser@astaro.homelab.local -pw your_password -m "C:\Users\xxx\UNIX_commands.txt"

    UNIX_commands.txt:
    sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now

    But with cluster this would shutdown the Master only. You have to fire the same command after 15 sec again.

    Thanks again.

     

    "For webadmin you can create an administrator with restricted rights."

    How can I achieve this?

     

    In "Definitions & Users > Users & Groups > New User" I can create a local user account. But I don't see any group fitting an admin beside "SuperAdmins".

    SuperAdmins group is added in "Management > WebAdmin Settings > WebAdmin Access Configuration". Text says:

    In Allowed Administrators, specify the users and groups that should have full webadmin access to all areas.

    So for me it looks like there is no way to create a admin with restricted rights, only with full rights. Did i miss something?

    within "Management/WebAdmin Settings/Accesscontrol" you can create differentiated admin-rules".

    these you can assign to users here.

    Don't add restricted users to "../general/allowed administrators" .... otherwise they get full admin rights.

    Sadly there is no right for "Management" menu or better only the sub menu "shutdown/restart". 

    Only:

    Mail Manager
    Mail Protection Manager
    Network Protection Manager
    Remote Access Manager
    Web Application Protection Manager
    Web Protection Manager
    Wireless Protection Manager

    Those can't shutdown the utm.

    Looks like a account that is allowed for a shutdown must be a full admin.

    Erik, I don't think this is an issue.  In all my years here and before with Astaro, I don't recall a single problem caused by power going out.  In fact, I regularly suggest switching power off and on to resolve some issue.

    Cheers - Bob
