As you may have already seen, we don't have an entry for this UPS in data/drivers.list yet. However, HP often repackages other vendors' equipment. Does the documentation mention what software is used to monitor the UPS on Windows? Often this is a clue as to what is inside. -- - Charles Lepple ___ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser

The nut version is nut-2.2.0-3.3.el4, running on Mitel SME Server 7.3 (based on CentOS 4.6).

Most likely (but see the note above), the UPS firmware is broken and it signals low battery right after the power is lost. NUT has no other option than to initiate system shutdown in that case. Note that the Back-UPS 350 is a *very* small entry level UPS that really shouldn't be used for anything other than small desktop systems. > Today, the UPS shows a load of 35, via the upsc > command, so it doesn't appear it was overloaded. Maybe, maybe not. The only way to conclusively tell why NUT decided to shutdown the system is to run the driver in debug mode. It will probably confirm the above.

However you may find that it almost immediately hit low battery (LB) due to an aged and failing battery - a not uncommon problem. You need to do a test to find out if that is the problem. The real world test is, of course, to pull the power from the UPS (while watching the charge of the UPS). More practically is to move everything off the UPS and plug in a load (one or 2 100W light bulbs) and do the same test, but not risking the server ;) You'll find chapter and verse on this in the list archive. -- Please keep list traffic on the list.

[Nut-upsuser] ups.delay.shutdown clarification
A client of mine has an APC Back-UPS 350 model (USB connected). His office had a power incident yesterday, where there was an interruption of about 30 seconds. During that time, the server shut down. As soon as it went on battery, the daemon initiated a shutdown. In checking it today, I see the ups.delay.shutdown setting is -1. I tried to adjust it, but could not do so. What does the "-1" setting mean? I Googled, but couldn't find anything relevant. Am I correct in assuming it is this setting that caused the immediate shutdown? Today, the UPS shows a load of 35, via the upsc command, so it doesn't appear it was overloaded. Thanks, Des -- Des Dougan, Principal Dougan Consulting Group Inc.
