APCUPSD with Belkin Model F6C900-UNV UPS on FreeBSD 6.2?
I'm still looking for the right UPS for a server running FreeBSD 6.2. Staples has the Belkin Enterprise Series 900VA UPS (model F6C900-UNV) on sale for $89.99. Will apcupsd on FreeBSD 6.2 work with this unit??? FYI, I'm posting to freebsd-questions because I've had zero replies to my posts about three different UPS brands/models to the apcupsd-user mailing list.

Re: UPS on FreeBSD
Thanks to all. Now we getin' somewhere Per the link provided by Robert, I did the followings: 1) re-compile/install the kernel by hashing the uhid device. # deviceuhid # "Human Interface Devices" 2) reboot the system to launch/verify (uname -a) the newer kernel 3) deinstall apcupsd which was previously installed from /usr/ports 4) download/install this newer beta apcupsd from the link provided with ./configure --enable-usb option. Perhaps, this option was not on as I noticed that I can not run apcupsd and got this error message: Most likely, you need to add --enable-usb to your ./configure options. 5) set DEVICE /dev/ugen0 in the apcupsd.conf 6) ran the apcupsd as follows: /sbin/apcupsd -f /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf --kill-on-powerfail 7) ran apcaccess and here is output: # apcaccess APC : 001,034,0871 DATE : Fri Oct 08 15:39:24 EDT 2004 HOSTNAME : host.domain.com RELEASE : 3.10.15 VERSION : 3.10.15 (26 August 2004) freebsd UPSNAME : host.domain.com CABLE: USB Cable MODEL: Back-UPS RS 1500 UPSMODE : Stand Alone STARTTIME: Fri Oct 08 15:19:58 EDT 2004 STATUS : ONLINE LINEV: 115.0 Volts LOADPCT : 10.0 Percent Load Capacity BCHARGE : 100.0 Percent TIMELEFT : 77.4 Minutes MBATTCHG : 5 Percent MINTIMEL : 3 Minutes MAXTIME : 0 Seconds LOTRANS : 097.0 Volts HITRANS : 132.0 Volts ALARMDEL : Always BATTV: 26.8 Volts NUMXFERS : 0 TONBATT : 0 seconds CUMONBATT: 0 seconds XOFFBATT : N/A SELFTEST : NO STATFLAG : 0x0208 Status Flag MANDATE : 2004-03-20 SERIALNO : JB0412048005 BATTDATE : 2001-09-25 NOMBATTV : 24.0 FIRMWARE : .g8 .D USB FW:g8 APCMODEL : Back-UPS RS 1500 END APC : Fri Oct 08 15:39:26 EDT 2004 # 8) Next, unplugged the UPS from power outlet, and noticed STATUS : ONBATT besides many other factor chaning as time goes by. 9) I also ran apctest and ran all tests/date verifications etc. All passed. Next, I called APC, they are going to send me RJ45 <--> Serial cable for this UPS. Now I am debating to go with this setup or replace the above cable and run apcupsd from /usr/ports/sysutils and go serially. Thanks Robert again. This was not possible without your kind effort in locating the right resources. Special thanks goes to Adam Kropelin for bringing Beta apcupsd USB driver for FreeBSD. This document will be a good start for those who want to have USB based UPS hooked with FreeBSD OS. S.

APC has PowerChute Personal Edition for Windows (and possible Mac) available on their website; it only covers USB devices.

Thanks! 1) apcupsd does not currently support USB connections for FreeBSD. 2) There is a _beta_ version - availiable at "http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=5525131&forum_id=26961"; that may work. If you can afford to install and test this version, please do so as it will not be added to main apcupsd code-base and therefore not be part of the port until more testing occurs.

The output from the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apcupsd.sh status is same as above. Basically, system crashes since UPS is not getting any command to follow by the /usr/local/etc/apcupsd/apccontrol program. By changing the DEVICE to /dev/uhid0 in the apcupsd.conf file, when starting the apcupsd, I get: # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apcupsd.sh start apcupsd # apcupsd FATAL ERROR in dumbsetup.c at line 91 Cannot open UPS port /dev/uhid0: Device busy # Any thoughts and/or workaround to have UPS working on FreeBSD especially via USB cable?

Re: UPS on FreeBSD
Hi all, I am interested to buy a brand new UPS for a host with: # uname -a FreeBSD host.domain.com 5.2.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE #0: Mon Feb 23 20:45:55 GMT 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 This is Dell PowerEdge 2600 that comes with 2 USB and 2 serial ports. Any suggestion on go-far/stay-away on a particular UPS in North America? Also, if someone can share their handy notes/links in setting up UPS would be appreciated. Once I implemented UPS (hopefully), will get back to list with my UPS how-to. I promise on this one! S.
