[Nut-upsuser] Ellipse 750 USBS auto shutdown and NUT.
Hello, I've installed & configured NUT 2.0.4 connected over a serial port to an MGE USBS 750. When the UPS enters the 'critical' state (ie, battery load below the defined battery.charge.low AND power input off), the UPS just shutdown itself instead of notifying NUT. When I say the UPS just shutdown, I mean it autonomously shut down itself within one second after reaching the low battery state (which is defaulted to 30%). When the power is restored, the UPS restarts properly. I was not able to find internal parameters within the UPS that would allow me to cancel this behavior (and have the usual behavior of the UPS sending an alarm to NUT and waiting to be shutdown by the "halt" script upsdrvctl shutdown command). My guess is that the UPS "knows" if it is connected to an host or not. Maybee in case of using the serial port this does not work ? (and the UPS thinks it is not suppervised ?) Maybee shall NUT send it some command at some point to notify this ? Any help appreciated. thanks fred -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hello, is upsmon -c fsd working for you ? I remember having a similar problem. A library wasn't found during the halt process because /usr was on a separate partition. During the shutdown process /usr will be dismounted before the nut stop sequence is completed. That could be ld-linux.so or something look at the error message returned or run ldd /usr/sbin/upsmon to find out which one is missing.

[Nut-upsuser] Ellipse 750 USBS auto shutdown and NUT.
Thanks jimmy for the hints, but I'm afraid the description of the problem I
have was not clear.
The problem I have is NOT a software configuration issue of NUT.
The problem I have is that the UPS, when reaching battey.charge.low SHUTS
DOWN ITSELF IMMEDIATELY, without sending anything to NUT over the serial
port. Whatever would be my NUT configuration, it has no time to run, since
the computer is shut down immediately.
The UPS behaves exactely AS IF IT WAS NOT SUPPERVISED.
My guess is that there is some logic within the USBS 750 that makes him
decide, upon reaching the low battery state, to negociate with a software
that suppervises him (over the USB or serial port) OR, if not suppervised by
software, to shut down itself immediately to protect its battery.
My guess is that this behavior is not properly working, and they may be two
reasons
* OR the Ellipse has a firmware issue that makes him believe it is not
suppervised when suppervised through the SERIAL port (and not the USB)
* OR NUT is not properly sending some commands to set some parameters to
the UPS to make it enter the proper mode.
Any hints from MGE people here ?
thanks
fred

Hello,
I've installed & configured NUT 2.0.4 connected over a serial port to an
MGE
USBS 750.
When the UPS enters the 'critical' state (ie, battery load below the
defined
battery.charge.low AND power input off), the UPS just shutdown itself
instead of notifying NUT.
When I say the UPS just shutdown, I mean it autonomously shut down itself
within one second after reaching the low battery state (which is defaulted
to 30%). When the power is restored, the UPS restarts properly.
I was not able to find internal parameters within the UPS that would allow
me to cancel this behavior (and have the usual behavior of the UPS sending
an alarm to NUT and waiting to be shutdown by the "halt" script
upsdrvctl
shutdown command).
My guess is that the UPS "knows" if it is connected to an host or not.
Maybee in case of using the serial port this does not work ? (and the UPS
thinks it is not suppervised ?) Maybee shall NUT send it some command at
some point to notify this ?
Any help appreciated.
thanks
fred
