[Nut-upsuser] Powerware 5110

[Steve Simeonidis]

Thanks Charles/Kjell,

I installed from the RPMS. If I use -u root seems to find the UPS. How do I make it work? (single host)

[root at b1 ~]# /sbin/bcmxcp_usb -a pw5110
Network UPS Tools - BCMXCP UPS driver 0.10 (2.0.3)

Can't set POWERWARE USB configuration
Unable to find POWERWARE UPS device on USB bus

Things to try:

 - Connect UPS device to USB bus

 - Run this driver as another user (upsdrvctl -u or 'user=...' in ups.conf).
   See upsdrvctl(8) and ups.conf(5).

Fatal error: unusable configuration
[root at b1 ~]# /sbin/bcmxcp_usb -a pw5110 -u root
Network UPS Tools - BCMXCP UPS driver 0.10 (2.0.3)

Model = POWERWARE UPS    1000VA
Firmware = 00.50
Shutdown delay =  60 seconds 


Changed ups.conf

[pw5110]
    driver = bcmxcp_usb
    port = auto
    shutdown_delay = 60
    desc = "USB ups"



Regards
Steve

The port value for many USB drivers is just a placeholder, and does not refer to the actual USB device path. I would suggest leaving it as "auto" to avoid confusion later on.

Which version of NUT are you using? Did you compile from source, or are you using RPMs from FC5?

In the source code, there is a directory called either scripts/hotplug-ng or scripts/udev. Please follow the instructions there.

Alternatively, you can test with "-u root" on the driver command line, but this is less secure.
