Re: [Nut-upsuser] Multi UPS on Debian
arjen, The recommended way to do use multiple USB devices, is to match the serial number of the UPS. This will make sure that if you plug the devices in a different port, the upsnames don't change. Check if the serial number is reported by the devices if you run the driver with the -DD option: i have a similar situation with three ups's also. two of them are the same, yet on different bus's and then a third on the same bus. the third gives a serial number and the other two do not. i'm trying to match the serial number to try and get around the driver seeing them as only one and then getting the errors in the logs and the data stale readings. could you provide what the preferred method is for putting the serial number in ups.conf? lsusb -v - Bus 003 Device 003: ID 051d:0002 American Power Conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply Device Descriptor: bLength18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 1.10 bDeviceClass0 (Defined at Interface level) bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 8 idVendor 0x051d American Power Conversion idProduct 0x0002 Uninterruptible Power Supply bcdDevice1.06 iManufacturer 3 American Power Conversion iProduct1 Back-UPS RS 1500 FW:8.g9 .D USB FW:g9 iSerial 2 JB0531034179 ups.conf - [sam] driver = usbhid-ups port = auto serial = 2 JB0531034179 # upsdrvctl start sam Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.3 Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.34 (2.4.3) USB communication driver 0.31 No matching HID UPS found Driver failed to start (exit status=1) version - 2.4.3-1ubuntu5 thank you chad ___ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser

The only thing that differentiates them in ups.conf is the port, but this is not used in the device matching (it will change on reconnecting the device, so it can't be used). Basically both the eaton_2 and eaton_3 driver will attempt to connect to the same device (which will lead to a storm of connects and disconnects). Maybe i’ve miss something, but i can’t figure it out. Could someone point me to the right way? The recommended way to do use multiple USB devices, is to match the serial number of the UPS. This will make sure that if you plug the devices in a different port, the upsnames don't change. Check if the serial number is reported by the devices if you run the driver with the -DD option: /path/to/blazer_usb -DD -u root -a upsname If it is, use that instead. Note that many generic USB to serial converters don't have unique serial numbers. In that case, your only option is to make sure they are on different busses and match those. If that isn't possible either, you can't control them from the same host. Best regards, Arjen PS Unless needed, you shouldn't use the vendorid, productid and subdriver in ups.conf.

Hello Arjen, as Armaud mentioned too, i'll have to change the bus-es. The UPS doesn't give a serial. I removed the unnecessary lines as you suggested.
