3rd party UPS
It is a Powerware 9315 UPS.
I have been able to get Onlinet Version 4
working on AIX 4.2.1 without issue.
Ultimately, I can't get serial communication working to the UPS. I tried K360, K260, and D380 all with the same result (core dump).
Any help is appreciated.

did the program install correctly but you just can't get the serial communication to work? or did you get some errors during install?
I don't use OnliNet but do you configure it within the program or do you have to edit HP-UX files /etc/ups_conf ... instead of manually editing it you can use SAM.
SAM > Periferal Devices > Uninterruptable Power Supplies
Then "Action" menu
Then "Add" option
Then pick the serial port
then when you exit SAM, it restarts the UPS daemon.

Re: 3rd party UPS
Powerware has been unable, thus far anyway, to verify the workings of Onlinet V4. Though as you state, it is advertised clearly.
You definitely want to disable the UPS software
via smit. Safe to comment out the line in /etc/inittab for UPS:
#ups1::off:rtprio 0 /usr/lbin/ups_mond -f /etc/ups_conf
HP Support helped me to verify serial connection to UPS is valid using kermit.
Seems like some sort of a software issue at this point.
Thanks for your help!

Re: 3rd party UPS
The guys in charge of the project to tie our UPS's into a system where we can safely shutdown our systems in the event of power outage are recommending this software. Your post here makes me nervous that while it may work for their equipment, it may not do squat for my HP-UX N/L servers.
I'd appreciate any feedback you could provide...

Re: 3rd party UPS
We are still struggling with the Onlinet V4.
They are shipping me a new serial cable today.
I have tried 4 different HPUX 11.0 hosts and
2 different AIX 4.2.1 hosts.
I'm not sure about the cable because I can communicate in terminal mode to the UPS.
And if I disconnect the cable altogether, the messages are very clear as to the disruption to communication. If the cable is connected, it seems like there is some level of communication between the UPS and host.
We used to resell smaller UPS to our customer with older Version of Onlinet and Failsafe for
AIX and both packages worked fine.
Neither are an end all, but for notification and automatic shutdowns they both worked.
