Topic: Nut and APC Back-UPS ES725

[ElFroggio]

I am trying to configure nut, and it does not not work.

1. I have plugged in the USB port

Code: [Select]

db configuration setprop nut Device /dev/ttyUSB0
expand-template /etc/sysconfig/ups
expand-template /etc/ups/ups.conf
expand-template /etc/ups/upssched.conf
expand-template /etc/ups/upsmon.conf
expand-template /etc/ups/upsd.users
expand-template /etc/ups/upsd.conf
/etc/rc7.d/S15nut restart

and I get:

[root@coyote ~]# /etc/rc7.d/S15nut restart
Stopping UPS monitor:                                      [  OK  ]
Stopping upsd:                                             [  OK  ]
Shutting down newhidups:                                   [FAILED]

No matching USB/HID UPS found
                                                           [FAILED]
Starting upsd:                                             [  OK  ]
Starting UPS monitor (master):                             [  OK  ]
[root@coyote ~]#
Broadcast message from nut (Tue Nov  7 07:57:27 2006):

Communications with UPS UPS@localhost lost

Broadcast message from nut (Tue Nov  7 07:57:32 2006):

Any suggestion?

Thanks

db configuration setprop nut Device /dev/ttyUSB0
expand-template /etc/sysconfig/ups

You can remove this line as its USB...

db configuration setprop nut Device /dev/ttyUSB0


Try this...

[root@test]# config setprop nut Model newhidups
[root@test]# expand-template /etc/ups/*
[root@test]# expand-template /etc/sysconfig/ups
[root@test]# /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S**nut restart

Where ** is a number,

Just did:

Code: [Select]


[root@coyote ~]# config setprop nut Model newhidups
[root@coyote ~]# expand-template /etc/ups/*

Still no joy.

Ok what does...

config show nut

Show? Did you remove the "Device" property?

If so then do...

config setprop nut Model newhidups
config setprop nut status enabled

Then...

expand-template /etc/sysconfig/ups
expand-template /etc/ups/ups.conf
expand-template /etc/ups/upssched.conf
expand-template /etc/ups/upsmon.conf
expand-template /etc/ups/upsd.users
expand-template /etc/ups/upsd.conf

Then restart...

/etc/rc7.d/S15nut restart

[byte]

If "newhidups" model doesn't work try "hidups"

[ElFroggio]

Code: [Select]


[root@coyote ~]# config show nut
nut=service
    Device=/dev/ttyUSB0
    Model=newhidups
    status=enabled


How to I remove the device?

BTW, Thanks for the help

Code: [Select]


[root@coyote ~]# config show nut
nut=service
    Device=/dev/ttyUSB0
    Model=newhidups

Do...

config delprop nut Device

Then don't forget to expand the templates,

[ElFroggio]

Remove the device and tried both the newhidups and the hidups, still does not work. Is the APC Back-UPS ES725 supported by nuts?

Is the APC Back-UPS ES725 supported by nuts?

It would seem so...

http://www.networkupstools.org/compat/stable.html

I remember seeing on a few bug reports that USB UPS's are unreliable at this time, so what I'd suggest/do is take a look at the nut dev list and see what info they provide which may help you.
