Thread: PW5110 UPS not operating via NUT


hi,

bought poweredge 5110 year ago , has used windows pc since. lately have changed whole network linux network porting machines ubuntu. current workstation p/edge connected ubuntu 9.04 64bit ( linux yancho-ubuntu 2.6.28-16-generic #55-ubuntu smp tue oct 20 19:48:32 utc 2009 x86_64 gnu/linux )

have followed tutorials set nut able provide me ups monitoring no avail.

info "dmesg" gives me:

[517097.193836] usb 5-2: new low speed usb device using uhci_hcd , address 10
[517097.404059] usb 5-2: configuration #1 chosen 1 choice

info "lsusb" gives me:

bus 005 device 010: id 0592:0002 powerware corp. ups (x-slot)

have set nut best of knowledge , following: http://blog.shadypixel.com/monitorin...-ubuntu-linux/

nut.conf
--------
mode=standalone

ups.conf
--------
[myups]
driver = bcmxcp_usb
port = auto
shutdown_delay = 60
desc = "powerware_5110_eaton"

upsd.conf
---------
acl 0.0.0.0/0
acl localhost 127.0.0.1/32
accept localhost
reject all

upsd.users
----------
[root]
password = testpass
allowfrom = localhost
instcmds = all
actions = set

[upsmon]
password = testpass
upsmon master


upsmon.conf
-----------
monitor myups@localhost 1 upsmon testpass master
powerdownflag /etc/killpower
shutdowncmd "/sbin/shutdown -h now"


when try test ups activity get:

yancho@yancho-ubuntu:/etc/nut$ sudo upsdrvctl -u root start myups
network ups tools - ups driver controller 2.4.1
network ups tools - bcmxcp ups driver 0.21 (2.4.1)
usb communication subdriver 0.17
can't set powerware usb configuration
unable find powerware ups device on usb bus

things try:

- connect ups device usb bus

- run driver user (upsdrvctl -u or 'user=...' in ups.conf).
see upsdrvctl(8) , ups.conf(5).

fatal error: unusable configuration
driver failed start (exit status=1)


starting trouble me installed poweware software naming network shutdown module , personal solutions pac. latter downloaded 32bit module , using "getlibs" installed system.

network shutdown module saying: "no device discovered." whilst personal solutions pac prompts popup saying: "no ups found. check ups usb or serial cable plugged".

tried following compiling tutorial after removed packages. tutorial is: http://www.networkupstools.org/doc/2.2.0/install.html

has put me situation without ups , have forked loads of money (here in malta not cheap!) absolutely nothing , having server risking borked because of electricity.

in solving issue extremely appreciated.

, regards

matthew
