have you looked at the nut documentation? i think we just use the standard nut

http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/user-manual.chunked/ar01s02.html#configuringand_using

Well, it doesn't look like the Nexnenta implementation is based entirely on standard nut. The docs from the link refer to settings for upsmon.conf, which don't seem to be used by the Nexenta plugin, because it only exists as upsmon.conf.sample in /etc/nut. Hence not configured by the NX ups plugin.

Also in answer to my own question, it doesn't appear that the user 'nzaups' is used at all in upsd.users. I found the following in /var/adm/messagess:

[ID 702911 daemon.warning] allowfrom in upsd.users is no longer used

If I can't find the secret to getting the ups plugin to work, I may have to revert to an earlier checkpoint and try to install the standard nut drivers, then try to configure going that way.

let's see what i can find.. might take me a day or so.. stand by

Thanks, Linda.

Lynn, couple of questions:

What's the model number of your Tripplite SmartOnline UPS? How are you connecting to the UPS - serial or usb?

Alek,

Thanks for the reply. I'm not in the office this week but our Tripplite model is very similar to a SU1500RTXL2UA http://www.tripplite.com/en/products/model.cfm?txtSeriesID=934&txtModelID=2949.

And I am hooked up using a serial connection. Couldn't get it to work with USB.

I appreciate any advice you can impart.

Lynn

I've got the shutdown working through upsmon without a UPS on my system. One problem is that upsmon.conf file is missing.

Give the following a shot:

cp /etc/nut/upsmon.conf.sample  /etc/nut/upsmon.conf
chown root:nut /etc/nut/upsmon.conf
chmod 0640 /etc/nut/upsmon.conf

add the MONITOR line in /etc/nut/upsmon.conf to monitor your UPS, for a simple set-up something like:

MONITOR *ur_ups_name*@localhost 1 nzaups *nzaups_password* master

will do (the password for nzaups is in upsd.users). Then edit /etc/nut/upsmon.conf SHUTDOWNCMD line to be

SHUTDOWNCMD "poweroff"

After reboot I'm now able to interact with upsmon, including a test forced shutdown sequence (FSD): "upsmon -c fsd".

Unfortunately my UPS is buried under some servers right now so this is as far as I got without it. Can you see if the above changes make it possible to battery level shutdown?

There is good info at http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/user-manual.chunked/ar01s06.html#UPS_shutdown including what "upsmon -c fsd" is suppose to do and a sample shutdown script that would also turn of your UPS as the system shuts down.

Thanks, Alek! That did the trick.

Kind of makes you wonder why the Nexenta plugin doesn't setup upsmon.conf like it does the other config files.

BTW, I am using the following for my SHUTDOWN command:

   /usr/sbin/shutdown -y -g 10 -i 5

The plugin now sees the battery threshold and appears to run the above string, shuts down the OS, but doesn't actually kill the power on the head. On other UNIX systems init level 0 would shutdown and power off the box but in Solaris its init level 5?

Thanks for bringing the to our attention lynn, we will now file a bug and try to get it fixed.
