Happy New Year! This problem has been solved. It was a disconnected cable. The data cable connecting the UPS to the server was disconnected at the UPS end. I reconnected the cable and started the UPS service on the host. All came back up. For bonus points: [18:17 r730-01 dvl ~] % upsc ups02 | grep -i alarm [18:17 r730-01 dvl ~] % The battery alarm has cleared. -- Dan Langille [email protected] _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
