Hello everyone, Charles suggested (about a week ago) that I repost to
this list. I took a moment to run some additional tests ...
The basics:
-- UPS: Liebert PowerSure PSA 500 (from the 230 VAC / 50 Hz line)
-- Kernel: 2.6.11.5 (from sources), USB support (down to and including
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV) compiled in statically (not as a module)
-- Rest of OS: Basically still from the original SuSE 9.1 install :-/
-- Connection: USB cable (as supplied by Liebert)
-- NUT: Tried both 2.0.2 and 2.1.0
The situation:
1. INITIAL STATE (e.g., after reboot):
-- /proc/bus/usb/devices (excerpt below) lists kernel (usbhid) as the
driver in use.
-- lsusb -v claims it "cannot get report descriptor".
-- newhidups driver doesn't recognize the UPS:
# bin/newhidups -DD -a PowerSure
Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.27 (2.1.0)
debug level is '2'
Opening new device (0000/0000)
Opening new device (0000/0000)
Opening new device (0000/0000)
Opening new device (10AF/0001)
Opening new device (0000/0000)
Opening new device (0000/0000)
found 0 (-1)
No USB/HID UPS found
(Changes to /etc/hotplug/ have been made as instructed. Note that
the UPS *does* get probed (the non-zero device ID).)
-- hidups driver can connect to the UPS, but *dies* whenever it changes
state:
# bin/hidups -DD -a PowerSure
[...]
Detected Liebert Liebert PSA 500 FW:09
on port /dev/usb/hiddev0
addhidvalue(850066, battery.charge): obtained 0
addhidvalue(850068, battery.runtime): obtained 0
[... pulling mains cable]
read: Input/output error
(I'm still trying to obtain info from Liebert whether those two
values plus ups.status are actually *all* the data the UPS offers.)
-- UPS has changed bus ID from 2:2 to 2:6 after the experiment. (Note
that I pulled the cable *twice* to verify some detail ...)
2. RECLAIMED STATE
-- entered by running "get_descriptor 002 006 0 0 0 128 0x22 0" (code
at
lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsdev/2005-August/000088.html,
output below)
-- /proc/bus/usb/devices (excerpt below) now lists "(none)" as driver
-- lsusb -v now lists the entire spiel (output below)
-- no change for newhidups driver (still doesn't recognize the UPS)
-- hidups driver can't connect to the UPS anymore:
# bin/hidups -DD -a PowerSure
Network UPS Tools: HID UPS driver 0.13 (2.1.0)
Warning: This is an experimental driver.
Some features may not function correctly.
debug level is '2'
hiddev path open /dev/usb/hiddev0: No such device
3. FUBARED STATE
-- Entered by once more pulling&reinserting mains cable, which again
changes the device ID (to 2:8). (Will have to do more testing to see
whether it can cause a direct Initial->FUBARed state change, too.)
-- /proc/bus/usb/devices (excerpt below) is back to "usbhid"
-- a simple "lsusb -v" lists the UPS (again with "cannot get
report
descriptor"), while "lsusb -v -s 2:8" gives no output at all
:-?
-- still no change with the newhidups driver
-- hidups driver is back to initial state behavior, including the I/O
error as soon as I pull the mains (which takes the device ID to 2:10,
with no further change of state)
I could probably have the hidups driver started from inittab with a
"respawn" label to get NUT running reliably (sorta), but that's as
ugly
as a kludge can get. ;-) Does anyone have an idea for an alternative?
Kind regards,
J. Bern

Note that > the UPS *does* get probed (the non-zero device ID).)This is to be expected. The newhidups / libusb code is fairly ugly in that it is not modular - when you add support for a new device, you need to edit a million files. You should first look at the file driver/libusb.c. In line 116 or thereabouts, you will see a statement such as: if ((dev->descriptor.idVendor == MGE_UPS_SYSTEMS) || (dev->descriptor.idVendor == APC)) This means that in nut-2.0.2, *only* MGE and APC devices will be opened. Maybe in nut-2.1.0 there could be additional vendors listed there. The first thing you should do is change this to if ((dev->descriptor.idVendor == MGE_UPS_SYSTEMS) || (dev->descriptor.idVendor == APC) || (dev->descriptor.idVendor == LIEBERT) ) and then you should also add a line under "Supported Nanufacturers IDs" in drivers/newhidups.h: #define LIEBERT 0x10af /* All models */ At this point, at least your device should be opened, although not much useful will happen yet. If you run your "bin/newhidups -DD -a PowerSure", at least you should get a listing of the UPS's Usage Tree. Next, look at line 391 (or thereabouts) of drivers/newhidups.c. You will see a case distinction: switch (hd->VendorID) { case MGE_UPS_SYSTEMS: ... break; case APC: ... break; case MUSTEK: case TRIPPLITE: case UNITEK: default: ... fatalx("Aborting"); break; } You should add your vendor here as well. Then you also need to add a new file drivers/liebert-hid.h, modeled on drivers/apc-hid.h, changing APC to LIEBERT everywhere, and making sure this new file is also #include'd in drivers/newhidups.c. Then you have to customize that file.> -- hidups driver can connect to the UPS, but *dies* whenever it changes > state: > # bin/hidups -DD -a PowerSure > [...] > Detected Liebert Liebert PSA 500 FW:09 > on port /dev/usb/hiddev0 > addhidvalue(850066, battery.charge): obtained 0 > addhidvalue(850068, battery.runtime): obtained 0 > [... pulling mains cable] > read: Input/output error > (I'm still trying to obtain info from Liebert whether those two > values plus ups.status are actually *all* the data the UPS offers.) > -- UPS has changed bus ID from 2:2 to 2:6 after the experiment. (Note > that I pulled the cable *twice* to verify some detail ...)That is normal. When you unplug and re-plug the UPS, it gets assigned a new bus ID.

You should be able to get a useable Usage Tree if you run newhidups with debug level 2 as above, after making the above modifications. Comment to newhidups developers: -------------------------------- The usage tree that he will generate will contain a lot of Usages such as 00860044, which are (1) wrongly encoded (the manufacturer should have used ff86XXXX), and (2) already taken (probably with different meanings) by Belkin. Perhaps it is time to modularize the newhidups.c code, so that all manufacturer specific code goes in a single file (say XXX-hid.c), rather than being spread out over several case distrinctions sprinkled throughout the code (newhidups.h, newhidups.c, libusb.c, libhid.c, ...). In particular, the manufacturer specific Usage tags most definitely do not belong in libhid.c; soon these tags will start to overlap between different manufacturers. Re-organizing the code along these lines would not be too difficult, but it would make adding new devices much easier. Also, the structure of *.c and *.h files should probably be cleaned up so that *.h files contain only headers (rather than code and data, as is currently the case). I guess any decision on that will have to wait until Arnaud gets back from vacation. -- Peter
Update from Liebert: They referred me to an external service company where I talked to someone who actually writes purpose built monitoring software for (the more expensive) Liebert UPSes. He commented that a) even in Liebert's own MultiLink software, communication via USBHID is not quite polished, nor currently a top priority of their developers, to say it politely; and b) the communication option bound to offer the most data is neither USB nor SNMP (where supported), but RS232. (Unfortunately, when I try the RS232 cable and the liebert driver, it never even gets aware of the (simulated) power outages, much less nets loads of information ...)

Then you have to customize that file.Umh ...

If it's normal that the USB communication gets reset when I yank the *POWER* cable (to simulate an outage), and also (I assume) normal that the driver cannot keep talking to the hiddev device it has open()ed because of the reset, how will the USBHID drivers *ever* be able to detect online <--> on battery switchovers without throwing an I/O error message?

Jochen, Having been in contact with Liebert and a Liebert UPS developer, can you get a copy of the ESP-II protocol used for Liebert RS-232 communications? I have a Liebert UPS, and am able to monitor with their MultiLink software, which is not that great. I actually have not tried the NUT USB interface yet, but it seems that RS-232 might be a better choice than USB, if you have the right cable and a serial port. Thanks, Joe Krahn
