I just bought an Ultra UPS system for my linux server, and I need

NUT INFORMATION: Package (apt-get install nut)
NUT VERSION: Latest
"Latest" doesn't sound like one of our version numbers :-) For Ubuntu
10.04, I assume it's 2.4.3-1ubuntu3 as listed here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/nut
?
You can get the full version by running "dpkg -l nut".
Driver: I don't have one?
Usually, we're referring to the right side of "driver =" in ups.conf,
but in your case, there may be a kernel driver involved as well. See
below.
Here's the device information from my syslog:
Code:
Jul 7 23:25:27 eric-desktop kernel: [ 3045.609066] usb 2-1: USB
disconnect, address 3
Jul 7 23:25:30 eric-desktop kernel: [ 3049.073041] usb 2-1: new low
speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
Jul 7 23:25:30 eric-desktop kernel: [ 3049.257903] usb 2-1:
configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
Jul 7 23:25:31 eric-desktop kernel: [ 3049.671558] generic-usb
0003:0D9F:0004.0005: hiddev96,hidraw1: USB HID v1.00 Device
[POWERCOM Co.,LTD HID UPS Battery] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1/input0
Here's my etc/nut/ups.conf file:
Code:
# /etc/nut/ups.conf
[Ultra]
driver = powercom
port = port=/dev/hidraw1
linevoltage = 120
manufacturer = Ultra
modelname = ULTRA 700VA
type = Trust
methodOfFlowControl=dtr0rts1
shutdownArguments = {{7,10},y}
Here's what I get when I run sudo upsdrvctl start:
Code:
eric@eric-desktop:~$ sudo upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.3
Network UPS Tools - PowerCom protocol UPS driver 0.12 (2.4.3)
Unable to open port=/dev/hidraw1: No such file or directory
Things to try:
- Check 'port=' in ups.conf
- Check owner/permissions of all parts of path
Fatal error: unusable configuration
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)
I've been following these guides:
http://blog.shadypixel.com/monitorin...-ubuntu-linux/
http://www.mail-archive.com/nut-upsu.../msg05168.html
/dev/hidraw1 does exist... is this how I'm supposed to configure a
USB connection between my UPS system? What permissions need to be
set on hidraw1?
None of the NUT drivers use /dev/hidraw*. Also, it appears you have
"port=" twice on the same line.
Are there any /dev/ttyUSB* device nodes? Do any appear if you run
"sudo modprobe cypress_m8"? (Although I think that module would have
been loaded automatically if needed.)
What do you get from "sudo cat /proc/tty/driver/usbserial"?
Basically, if the NUT driver name doesn't contain "usb", the driver is
expecting a serial port device name (either one corresponding to a
physical 9- or 25-pin port, or a virtual one created by a USB-to-
serial converter driver in the kernel).
Another tip from the nut-upsuser thread is to start with the shortest
possible entry in ups.conf (driver= and port= are required across all
drivers), and build up as things start to work. In your case, I would
try this:
[Ultra]
driver = blazer_ser
port = /dev/ttyUSB0
The guess of blazer_ser is due to the ULT line here:
http://www.networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html?manufacturer=Powercom
Also, the entries below that for the "powercom" driver mention USB
Product ID 0002, and the 0D9F:0004 entry in the syslog seems to
indicate a Product ID of 0004.
