Now it is the only one, the usb cable is now without connection. (It was
connected the days before)

None.

I did this, just more startup problems.

I've done this too. (I have a bypass module installed, so this could be
done easily. Otherwise it could not be done so easy with production
systems)
Now I sometimes get "Driver cannot communicate with USV" and always get
the upsd "Syncing ..... giving up" thing.
Immidiately after starting upsmon, I get the "Communication lost" errors
again, after a short while "Communication established" but shortly after
his again "Communication lost"
I am a little bit disappointed about this, because I had to convince the
leaders in the department to buy MGE instead of APC and thought it would
be easy to integrate this here.
it's a really strange problem!
Can you please make another test?
after having stopped nut (mge-shut, upsd and upsmon), simply launch
"mge-shut -DDDDD -a yourups", let it run for 1 or 2 mn and send me
back the output.
I'll try on my side a sol8 install to see if there is something on that front.
About your leaders, simply tell them that you won't get better support
than MGE's on Unix ;-)
And of course I can not use the "Solution Pac", because the "Load" is 3
Servers here.
you have also the option of a network management card, with our new
Network Shutdown Module (still beta):
