Description

Hi could you add in NMC the option for UPSes that need to use SNMP? We have IBM 3000HV (Eaton 5125) exactly as mentioned here which would use this option: http://techslaves.org/2010/03/30/ibm-change-ups-vendors/

I will try to configure NUT on a Linux host first to see if I get it working there before I hack my way down to bash on NexentaStor EE 3 - maybe I can help adding support for the NexentaStor Plugin by giving the configuration settings needed for this particular UPS? - Would be glad if you are willing to help :-)

Hi, I also miss the SNMP-UPS support. I want to use it with a Generex SNMP-Adapter CS121. thanks Alois Leimueller

Hi

I never heard any feedback until today. SNMP UPS'es are quite used in even smaller networks and it's a generic method. I've set up NUT Debian after finding correct ups.conf settings. I'm currently re-trying now on NexentaStor 3.1.1. /etc/nut/ups.conf needs on Debian:

[snmpups] driver = snmp-ups port = mibs = pw pollfreq = 30 community = snmp_version = v1 desc = ""

It' important to let configure appropriate MIB, set community string and SNMP version. Done - still running into a problem for yet having nut-snmp installed:

On NexentaStor dmesg says after restarting NUT: Nov 7 14:06:23 upsd[18706]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Can't connect to UPS [snmpups] (snmp-ups-snmpups): No such file or director

/lib/nut/snmp-ups -D -a snmpups Network UPS Tools - Generic SNMP UPS driver 0.44 (2.4.1) debug level is '1' SNMP UPS driver : entering upsdrv_initups() load_mib2nut: using pw mib pw MIB wasn't found on

Looking forwards to some feedback.
