Hello. We've got an APC Symmetra with a network management card. We'd like to run Powerchute Network Shutdown on some of our older Linux servers, but no dice. I'm wondering if anyone has found a way to make NUT work with the network mangement card (it's a TCP connection, not SNMP or cable), or knows of any alternate PCNS clients Also, I was wondering if anyone on the list has h...

I have a network with two older systems protected by APC UPSs. Both systems run OS/2 and will continue to do so. Both systems have APC PowerChute Plus 4.2.3 installed and I can use that software to monitor and control both systems. I am also now running several linux systems, in fact I spend almost all my time on the linux systems and these OS/2 systems are servers running in the background which need to be protected. Thus I would like...

...nds before returning to simply OL. So far this has always been the case: the strange status only appears for usually less than 1 second, occasionally a little more but never yet more than 2 seconds. I went to the effort of installing a Windows VM, passing USB through to it and trying APC's own Powerchute Serial Shutdown software in there. This software does not report any spurious events. Both Powerchute and nut do report true events that I induce. A self-test of the device passed. I am unable to demonstrate any behaviour that APC consider incorrect, because they are only interested in what Powerc...

Hello, I'd like to prevent my servers from rebooting when power comes back after a power failure. With powerchute (which I used before), there is an "automatic reboot" parameter. Is there an equivalent with nut ? Regards -- Frantz de Germain Web : http://www.info.univ-angers.fr/pub/frantz Membre de la Soci?t? d'Astronomie de Nantes : http://www.san-fr.com/

...und out about NUT tonight. I messed around with fink and macports but get stuck very soon. I dont know how to install anything that doesnt have a .dmg or .pkg installer. Does anyone have a step by step (written in "for dummies" format on how to get this all to work? Just looking for a PowerChute alternative that actually lets me control and monitor my UPS, not dealing with all this code stuff. Any help appreciated. Sent from my iPhone!

...ugreport.cgi?bug=707223 It's a bit of a corner case, and it's for NUT 2.6.4 (apcsmart driver v3.04), but I was wondering if it was still applicable for the latest code? "nut reports 100% battery charge after unplugging the battery on a Smart-UPS 2200 RM (SUA2200RMI2U) using apcsmart. Powerchute correctly reports the missing battery. The front panel displays 0% charge and change battery is flashing. The Smart Protocol commands B (Battery voltage) and f (Battery level) report false values of 55.35V and 100%. The missing battery might be indicated by register values: Register0: 00 Registe...

...lt: No test initiated ups.vendorid: 051d khali at mahadeva:~> Everything looks OK as far as I can tell, except for battery.date. If the string is returned directly be the UPS then I guess there's not much that can be done though. For what it's worth, the utility that comes with the UPS (PowerChute Personal Edition) doesn't seem to display this information (or at least I couldn't find it.) I'm not too sure about ups.delay.shutdown either; a negative value there looks strange, but maybe it has a special meaning? As far as the hardware is concerned, the Back-UPS RS 800 seems to w...

...ll, I've got two APC SmartUPS's that behave differently with nut, I have a SmartUPS1400 & a SmartUPS1250. I'm fairly sure this isn't a nut problem but more likely a problem with the age of the SmartUPS1250 and the apcsmart driver not being able to identify it. Under the APC Powerchute software the same monitoring & command parameters are available for both UPS's but not with nut. Is there a way of being able to monitor voltages/load etc on the SmartUPS1250? Here is the apcsmart debug output for the old 1250: # apcsmart -D -D -D -D -D -D -D -D -D -a smartups1250 Net...

...re as it looks like it's a NUT issue. Original question: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/apc-ups-reporting-wrong-input-voltage.60888/ the nut driver is reporting the wrong input voltage. I am in the UK, 230V but it's reporting circa 108. If I connect it to the laptop and run powerchute it reports the correct voltage. AFAIK, the driver is the correct one. Anything I can try to get this corrected? Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hello, I want to collect the same statistics that NUT can provide via SNMP. But, I don't have the special card, and would want to use the serial port to get the data. How does this work? I have tried, but so far no luck. Any ideas? Thank You.

I have a new APC Smart-UPS SUA2200RM2U. I've had no success with the manufacturer's PowerChute software and smart signaling, so I have decided to try NUT. The smartups driver can't make contact through the serial port. Since this is rack-mounted, it comes with a 940-1524 serial cable. As far as I can tell, this is supposed to work with smart signaling. Here's my ups.conf: [myups]...

.... Are there any crucial setup points you find important/necessary to get it working well, or other comments on your config? 5. The FreeNAS UPS service GUI has fields marked "monitor user+pw". Some web references seem to suggest they contain the users defined externally in the UPS through Powerchute/WebUI, other sources suggest they are used internally by the nut client to communicate with a nut daemon. Nobody (including the team itself) actually seems to be very sure which is somewhat intriguing! To save dabbling in the codebase, does anyone happen to know for sure what the data in these fie...

...per manual calibration on your APC UPS: ? ? 1. Battery must be at 100% capacity when the Runtime Calibration is initiated/started. (charge the UPS for 24hours prior) ? ? 2. The UPS must have 30-34% load on it during the calibration (Constant load, try: lamps, computers, monitors. Measure load % by PowerChute) ? ? 3. Disconnect the serial/USB comm cable from the UPS (you don?t want PowerChute to shut down equipment) ? ? 4. The battery must be discharged completely? (unplug UPS from wall outlet, let the UPS to shut off completely due to a discharged battery). ? ? 5. Remove the attached load (ie ? lights...

...is some communication going on over the USB interface. Newer servers around here seem to lack serial ports, so I really need to migrate to USB monitoring, but the lack of environmental information via usbhid-ups is a deal breaker. If I connect the same USB cable to a Windows laptop with APC's PowerChute Business Basic (which came with the UPS), I can read the ambient temperature and humidity, so the data is available on the USB link. Any ideas on how to get usbhid-ups to pass along the same data in Linux? Thanks, ric at opus1.com

...ile the UPS recovers from a deep discharge. There is currently no Low Battery signal from the OS prior to a shutdown, although it could be synthesized after one of the shutdown warnings. I would like to add that to a future release. I am also curious if people have tried third party drivers such as PowerChute (which might not populate this data store). Note that this is orthogonal to the problem of other NUT USB drivers being unable to attach to an UPS when the OS has already claimed it. That problem has already been solved, but I just need to find some time to integrate that with our autoconf setup....

Hello One our customer has two Linux HP-branded servers powered from "clasic" APC Smart-UPS 2200 RM 2U (p/n SUA2200RMI2U). It is connected to first server via RS232c port with APC-branded cable. We have installed NUT 2.6.4 with apcsmart driver. This setup works fine for months. Two weeks ago all the hardware powered from the UPS started to switch off occasionally while on line
