The shutdown test as you suggested. Except for a little modification: I pulled the RS-232 cable from the original UPS to keep everything running and connected it to a spare one - same model though. > LOAD_DUMPED should be mapped to "ups.status" = "OFF", which means that > output are not powered anymore. > was there any power on the output so? The lamp connected to the UPS was lit all the time. >> So finally, the utility which was not present (see above) now failed. :-) > if this was not the battery test, how long has it take to reach this state? First I ran with something that consumed too little power for about five minutes. Then I added load up to 80 VA and ran with that load for another five and a half minutes. The spare UPS was stored disconnected for at least half a year, it was cold and it said 90% battery when I connected the RS-232 cable. > it's always better to understand the issue, and actually fix it. The issue is that I had to switch from Solaris to FreeBSD because of increased license costs; I don't think I can fix that. ;-) > I would need a debug output of the driver for the above test, Ie: > $ /path/to/bcmxcp_usb -DDDDD -a upsb1 > > and an upsc output, to get the general context (ups.load, base > battery.runtime, ...). I'll try to do that in about 2 weeks. _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
