Hi all,
I have an eaton ENV800HA connected for a freebsd 9.0 box with nut 2.6.5
installed (on the supported list).
The UPS is connected using the Blazer_USB driver (not sure how to check its
version).
When I kick off upsd it detects the UPS no problems and I get all my
information:
battery.charge: 100battery.voltage: 13.60battery.voltage.high:

OLups.temperature: 25.0ups.type: offline / line interactiveups.vendorid: 0665
However after a random amount of time I get the following error:
blazer_usb[4466]: Permissions problem: Input/output error
Followed by:
upsd[4468]: Can't connect to UPS [EatonUPS] (blazer_usb-EatonUPS): No such

Ive tried the basics and chmod 777'd the ugen1.5 port (not a problem it if
works for a while) but worth a shot.
After doing some reading on here I ran /usr/local/libexec/nut/./blazer_usb -u
root -DDD -a EatonUPS which on its first run worked for 72 seconds, but 330
seconds on the second run before ending with:

Ive also found the following message in the log when I start upsd:
root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x0665 product 0x5161 bus uhub2
is this msg different from the one when you initially plug your UPS USB cord?
Any ideas where to go from here?
good question!blazer_usb will reconnect upon certain error, like your IO
one.but the thing is that device permissions must allow that.
Ie, on Linux, udev is in charge of setting the permissions for NUT on all
known devices.thus, upon any kind of disconnection/reconnection, NUT will be
able to establish again the communication.you should dig around
this...cheers,Arnaud-- Linux / Unix / Opensource Engineering Expert - Eaton -

Had a bit more of a play with this and still couldn't make it work.
Ive tried this now also on openindiana with the latest nut - same issue works
for 5 minutes then drops out with stale data errors (at the same time as the
permission errors in BSD).
Ive played with the polling times out to 30 seconds and this hasn't made a
difference.
Also when it does go to stale data it wont also detect again (I had the same
problems on free bsd)
For example:

8.983461 No supported devices found. Please check your device
availability with 'lsusb'
and make sure you have an up-to-date version of NUT. If this does not help,
try running the driver with at least 'subdriver', 'vendorid' and 'productid'
options specified. Please refer to the man page for details about these options
(man 8 blazer).
Any suggestions where to next? Im considering tossing the UPS and buying an APC.

Sorry Arnaud,
I swapped over to openindiana 151a6 as I was having less USB issues with
other devices; My problem with this is more stale data (moving away from
bsd fixed the permission error).
This is set with a 30 second polling interval at the driver (not upsmon).
Running blazer_usb -ddd drops out anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours -
it does a send but just stops and never gets a read back.

When I run the full package my mileage varies as above - anywhere from
30 minutes to 4 hours.

Nothing shows up in the logs other than what is here - permissions for

Ill keep testing and see if I can break it where i cant find the device
(as per last time) but that was on openindiana 151a5 so not sure if
somethings been fixed in a6.
