UPS: HP R3000 XR with HP UPS Management Module What I Want: I just want the UPS to shut down the client called "tor" before the UPS power drains out, I'd prefer to use a direct serial cable instead of network, in case the network doesn't work.
I'll manage the UPS trough the ethernet using the built-in HTTP webinterface in the HP UPS Management Module. I've created a DB9-RJ45 cable according to the spec (called "-RJ-45 Serial 1-5 (5-Port)") released by Brian Vo in this forumthread: http://forums11.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447626+1277983799644+28353475&threadId=1320596 So this is how my cable look like now: DB9-3 <---> RJ45-4 DB9-2 <---> RJ45-5 DB9-5 <---> RJ45-6 This cable is connected between port2 on the HP UPS Management Module, and the onboard DB9 connector on a server running Ubuntu 10.04 and NUT 2.4.3 In the HP UPS Management Module, I've set up a client called "tor" in load1, and assigned serial port2 to it with a shutdown time of 2 minutes. This is my nut configuration in /etc/nut/ups.conf : [aasgaard] driver = bcmxcp port = /dev/ttyS0 This is what happens when i try to start the driver: -----------START----------- rob...@tor:~$ sudo upsdrvctl start Attempting to autodect baudrate Communications with UPS lost: Receive error (Requested only mode command): e7!!! Communications with UPS lost: Receive error (Requested only mode command): e2!!! Can't connect to the UPS on port /dev/ttyS0! Driver failed to start (exit status=1) -----------STOP----------- I've also tried replacing this cable with a regular ethernet cable, and the original HP 432734-001 (AF401A) RJ45-DB9 adapter, this is the result I get: -----------START----------- rob...@tor:~$ sudo upsdrvctl start Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.3 Network UPS Tools - BCMXCP UPS driver 0.23 (2.4.3) RS-232 communication subdriver 0.17 Attempting to autodect baudrate Can't connect to the UPS on port /dev/ttyS0! Driver failed to start (exit status=1) -----------STOP----------- Can anyone in any way help me toward making this work? _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
