Nut upsuser - May 2018 - Does the NUT shutdown the UPS?

Hi everybody!

I was reading the user manual but something is little gray to me. Does the
master instruct the UPS to shutdown after it?

I'm asking because I'm still testing stuff here and I don't want my
UPS to power
everything down. I would be a terrible experience if it happens! :-)

Another question is, how can I ensure the hosts shutdown order? I have a machine
that use a storage so I need to shutdown the machine before the storage goes
down.

I wrote up my own notes on how this works - you will find it in chapter 5.4 of 
http://rogerprice.org/NUT/ConfigExamples.A5.pdf

If you are testing a NUT setup, then expect to see unexpected power downs.
Don't
test using a production system.

Thank you Roger, I read the chapter 5.4. The problem is that the storage is not
the master here, and syncing by time seems problematic for me. The *machine*
attached to the storage is a hypervisor attached to storage through iSCSI. What
I did was use a shell script with some key pairs to login to the hypervisor and
shutdown it before storage.

I'm testing on a machine that is not production but there is production
machines
(and the storage) supplied by this UPS, the testing server can shutdown without
problems but if storage shutdowns it would be problematic. Depending on how to
the things go here I will schedule a downtime to work on this. What I understood
from the PDF is that UPS only shutdown if I issue a `upsdrvctl shutdown`
command, otherwise it will stay up, right?!
