yes, of course I did, but didn't get a reply to this part of my email.
the guy I had contact with originally was on vacation, I'll contact him
again, maybe he is more responsive than his colleague.
Now since you came with the first NUT supported SCD, I've made a src.rpm
for you:
http://opensource.mgeops.com/stable/sources/nut-2.4.1-8.1.src.rpm
big tnx. rpmbuild works with this one! the one that I used had so many
dependencies to other stuff like powerman etc. I managed to resolve most
of these dependencies, but gave up later.
there's a slight problem with the rpm %pre scripts when running rpm -i
on the solar server:
[r...@helios tmp]# rpm -i nut-2.4.1-8.1.i386.rpm
nut-client-2.4.1-8.1.i386.rpm
usermod: invalid numeric argument 'dialout'
error: %pre(nut-client-2.4.1-8.1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 3
error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping nut-client-2.4.1-8.1
usermod: invalid numeric argument 'dialout'
error: %pre(nut-2.4.1-8.1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 3
error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping nut-2.4.1-8.1
I solved this by creating the group dialout.
and finally, here it is:
[r...@helios ups]# upsc ivtscd
battery.current: -1.9
battery.current.maximum: 2.2
battery.current.minimum: -2.4
battery.temperature: 16
battery.voltage: 12.10
battery.voltage.maximum: 14.02
battery.voltage.minimum: 11.84
device.mfr: IVT
device.model: Solar Controller Device
device.type: scd
driver.name: ivtscd
driver.parameter.pollinterval: 2
driver.parameter.port: /dev/ttyS0
driver.version: 2.4.1
driver.version.internal: 0.02
ups.status: OB
the value of the current is off by about -1A, which also pulls the
voltage down by about 0,5V or so.
hope that helps initially; I'll now dig deeper into the nuts configuration.
thanks and cu
it's limited to the nut (only including ivtscd) and the nut-client packages.
it's also untested, but it should suits your needs...
a few instructions:
- install it as usual (rpm -ivh ...rpm)
- build the package using : rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/nut-ivt.spec
you'll get the result in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
days are getting rapidly shorter now, leaving not enough sunlight to
charge the batteries to a level required to keep the server running.
so I better hurry ;-)
sure
cheers,
Arnaud
