[Nut-upsuser] HP R12000/3 UPS reports status as OL DISCHRG OB

Here's the first update of ups.status:

The first one (...3.4.5.0) is labeled in the driver as CPQPOWER_OID_POWER_STATUS. I checked around for this, and didn't find a good definition, but that seems to match the OL state.

The second one seems specific to the battery:

static info_lkp_t cpqpower_battery_abm_status[] = {
        { 1, "CHRG" },
        { 2, "DISCHRG" },
/*      { 3, "Floating" }, */
/*      { 4, "Resting" }, */
/*      { 5, "Unknown" }, */
        { 0, "NULL" }
} ;

I could see the battery monitoring circuit discharging the battery occasionally for maintenance, but is there a separate front-panel indicator for this mode?

The third one is CPQPOWER_OID_ALARM_OB. This definitely doesn't make sense, since things with "alarm" in the name are usually pretty direct.

The big question in my mind is, where did the NUT definitions come from?

Did your UPS come with a CD that might contain a SNMP MIB definition file? Or is there an area on the HP support site? (All I saw was a firmware update .EXE)
