Originally it was OI, then OmniOS until about 3 days ago. I compiled nut
myself, yes, but libusb is a major PITA. Basically you have to find the
libusb packages from the latest opensolaris and install them. Then there
were problems
Yeah, I know; I've got a couple of those -- somewhere 8-/. Stupid apc sigh,
another reason I'd prefer USB is to avoid having to track down where those
magic cables ended up ;).

I was actually going to suggest you to try the apcupsd software if you have
problems with the other ones.
And also, those serial cables are extremely simple, I made one with some loose
wires held together with sticky tape and soldered to serial plugs. I cannot
even call it cable.
I am
The principal benefit of ethernet is that you avoid all the driver / port
issues (at the expense of, as Paul said, the risk that your switch goes
down before the server / UPS and you lose connectivity - if it is not on
the same UPS).
USB support can be tricky in OmniOS - it obviously doesn't
I have a Cyber Power ups that I'm monitoring via USB and it works just fine.
The tricky part is to use ugen omnios driver not hid. My device is 764,501.1
and this is what I did:
# rem_drv ugen
# add_drv -i 'usb764,501.1' -m '* 0666 ups ups' ugen
Set the device to auto in your configuration

these days very few motherboards come with RS232 onboard
That is true of desktop hardware, but I think almost all server grade
motherboards have at least one if not two classic serial ports available.

To clarify, this is under OI, not omnios? Did you compile nut/libusb yourself,
or did you use packages in the OI repository?

So I've got an older APC Smart-UPS 1500 which I'd like to monitor from
omnios via usb. I plugged it into one of my linux boxes just to verify
how it presented the usb interface, and NUT said:
driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto
vendorid = 051D
productid = 0002
product
I am monitoring the exact same UPS on my OmniOS box, with NUT configured as
per the old Oracle blog - however I have it connected through a network
interface.
If you have issues with connecting it via USB, I suggest you consider
adding a network card which is likely to be much easier to get up
I actually do have a network management card in the unit, and was originally
thinking of monitoring via the snmp driver :). However, the ups for the server
is not the same ups as for the network gear, and at least for now the server
ups has about twice the runtime as the network ups 8-/, so my
Fair enough - bear in mind that the serial port on Smart UPSs require a
special cable, they are not simple serial despite their appearance.
