hello everyone, I've been testing the NUT solution as opposed to the undocumented LanSafe application to control my Eaton UPS. I am on a Slackware 13.37 system with a 2.6.37.6 kernel. NUT version is 2.4.3 . I installed the tarball by compiling it directly on my system (as a slackbuild package). The UPS is an Eaton Powerware 9155, but I don't know how to obtain the manufacturing da...

Hi Guys, I have a couple of servers which runs CentOS 5.5 and CentOS 5.4. We have decided to buy a UPS and we choose Eaton EX RT 11 plus eaton network management card minislot. I have read on the site of Eaton that they have two applications which could gracefully shutdown my servers - LanSafe and NetWatch. My experience with UPS and those applications is zero so I`m here for some advises? Do you prefer NetWatch over LanSafe? What is your suggestions?Any info is much appreciated! Thank you in advanced! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <...

Hi, I've got a Powerware Prestige 9 1kVA UPS that seems to not be working with nut. It's not in the current "supported hardware" list, but the old bcmxcp page lists it as being a UPS that speaks that protocol. I have the following in my ups.conf [powerware] driver = bcmxcp port = /dev/ttyS0 desc = "Powerware Prestige 9 EXT" baud_rate = 2400 And when I start the

I noted some correspondence from several years back about supporting this device with bcmxcp, and the problems therein. Since I have one of these UPS units, still going strong, and the Eaton LanSafe stuff has finally caused me enough grief to abandon it, I figured I'd take a look at this. The issue is not that bad - the bcmxcp driver query of the topology block (2 bytes!) is returning as block 0x09 and not 0x13 . . . as per the protocol spec, "some command queries may return 0x9...

I ordered some Powerware 3105 devices for Linux workstations. These devices only have an USB interface. I understood too late that support for Powerware devices is only available for the serial interface. Since the protocols over serial and USB seem to be identical, it was not too difficult to modify the bcmxcp driver to support USB. The new and changed files can be found here:
