[Nut-upsuser] SNMP shutdown timing out

Wed Apr 29 23:00:16 BST 2020

I'm in the process of trying to get NUT to manage an APC SmartUPS.

Monitoring of the UPS is working fine:
$ upsc nutdev1 at localhost

I can use snmpset to halt the UPS.
  snmpset -v 3 -a MD5 -A NutScan at Password43LongerWord -l authPriv -u nut -x
DES -X NutScan at Password43LongerWord apcups
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.318.1.1.1.6.1.1.0 i 2

(Passwords are temporary, I don't care if they leak.)

I am aware of the note in the MIB that states "Setting this variable to
turnUpsOffToConserveBattery(2) causes a UPS on battery to be put into
'sleep' mode.  The UPS will turn back on when utility power is restored.
Attempting to turn off a UPS that is not on battery will result in a
badValue error." so tests are being done with the UPS on battery.

However, when I try to tell it to shut down the UPS it fails with a timeout.

This *might* be related to the question I asked yesterday about nut-scanner
but given the difference in error reported (nut-scanner was complaining
about auth) I don't think so.

I'm using nut packages from EPEL 8 for all of this.

I've set SELinux to permissive (even tried 'disabled') and it doesn't
appear to be blocking anything.

Anyone have any suggestions for what I can try next?
