[Ahmed ABDOU_1]

hi

We have k-class (HP 9000 K360 ) system with 10.20 and it has UPS (P/N: A2998A). It gives us the following error in syslog.log and the console.

Sep 26 12:22:11 nemss1 /usr/lbin/ups_mond[3139]: /usr/lbin/ups_mond: UPS Monitor daemon starting; using configuration file /etc/ups_conf

???..

It kept repeating them unitill the processes were killed

We replace the cable, UPS, and the core I/O for the system so we can isolate it from hardware point of view (as the manual for PowerTrust System Guide).

Can you please help us in this.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Hi
The line:-

(/var/stm/data/tools/monitor/ups_mond.fifo) to be used as communication channel with the UPS monitor(EMS). The mkfifo failed with errno = 2.

Might be where the problem is have a look at man mkfifo it might point you in a direction to resolve the problem.

BTW check dir permissions.

ommunication channel with the UPS monitor(EMS). The mkfifo failed with errno = 2.


errno 2 = ENOENT (English Translation - at least one of the directories in the pathname does not exist.
