Communication with Smart-UPS

[Haitham Hamad]

I installed the powerchute software on my server but it can't communicate with the UPS.
I used /dev/tty1p0 because ioscan -funC tty showed the following:

tty 0 8/0/0 mux2 CLAIMED INTERFACE MUX
/dev/diag/mux0 /dev/diag/tty0p7 /dev/tty0p1
/dev/diag/tty0p0 /dev/mux0 /dev/tty0p7
/dev/diag/tty0p1 /dev/tty0p0

tty 1 8/20/2 asio0 CLAIMED INTERFACE Built-in RS-232C
/dev/diag/mux1 /dev/mux1 /dev/tty1p0

I already had the ups daemon running, does it need to be re-run or a server reboot?

TIA, H

Hi there.
Check the backside of your server. If there is no port for the ups, connect it to the mux and reconfigure it.
On the GSP board should be one port for the ups ( N-class ).

I have a D370 running 11.0. I am using the 940-0024C cable

Hi-

Make sure that the UPS settings in SAM are NOT configured. those were set up when I hooked up my UPS, and it didn't configure until I went in and disabled UPS in SAM. The SAM version only works with the HP UPS (whatever that is).

Hi, couple of things. Make sure you put in the right tty when the script prompts you for it. And make sure that it is set to off instead of respawn in /etc/inittab. Lastly, use the null modem adapter instead of the regular adapter.

ttp1:234:off:/usr/sbin/getty -h tty0p1 9600

Back inittab up before you make any changes. Hope this helps.

Double "H",

Attached are some notes that I jotted down when I installed Powerchute on my D370. His hostname is sagan. You'll see "sagan" referenced in the attachment. Good luck.
