[Nut-upsdev] Re old message CPQPOWER-MIB - nearly there (using snmp-ups with HP AH401A management card)

[Jack Challen]

Hi,

This appears to be related to a thread from January 2010:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsdev/2010-January/004470.html

NB: This is on an HP-UX 11.31 box, using a self compiled and packaged version of NUT 2.6.3, and net-snmp v5.7.1. 
Therefore some of the search paths and things like that may well be wrong because I've done something dumb. I'm also 
only just getting started with NUT on account of finding the HP tools don't appear to do the right thing. Therefore, my 
post may in fact be unwanted gibberish.

I've got an HP "R5500 XR" UPS with an additional network-capable management card (AH401A). On using the client to talk 
to it I get the following output:

# /usr/local/ups/bin/upsdrvctl start

That output suggests to me that the MIB for this UPS is missing or incomplete. I tried copying in the file:
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib2/software1/pubsw-windows/p104049210/v69218/CPQPOWER1.64.MIB
to /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs in an attempt to fix it, but that doesn't seem to change anything.


Happily, upsc seems to communicate successfully:

This UPS actually has dud batteries, which should explain the "error" result.

So, my questions:

Should the snmp-ups driver report this error?
Is it fixable with that MIB file?
Does that MIB file need to be included in a different way, or is it any use to you guys?
