A couple of years ago, Arnaud helped me get my Apollo Line Interactive UPS working, using the blazer_usb driver.
Now I've run into another problem, having rebuilt my HP Proliant Microserver into an ESXi 5.5 managed hypervisor with various VMs. One of the VMs is a FreeNAS server which manages the storage for the other VMs so graceful shutdowns are important. I built a single VM to monitor the UPS (Ubuntu Server 14.04 i386) and installed NUT on the box from the apt packages. I set it up as per the previous box with the blazer_usb driver and all goes well, for a while. Initially, the UPS reports correctly via upsc, but after a while I get the "Data stale" error, and the box is no longer recognised. A stop and start of upsdrvctl gives the following: $ sudo upsdrvctl -D start Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.1 0.000000 Starting UPS: apollo-ups Network UPS Tools - Megatec/Q1 protocol USB driver 0.10 (2.7.1) No supported UPS detected 15.242656 Driver failed to start (exit status=1) But lsusb reports that the device is still there. And an accidental upsdrvctl shutdown successfully powered down the UPS. Also, physically unplugging the UPS cable and re-inserting it forces it to work again, but again after a few minutes I get the "Data stale" again and the UPS status can no longer be interrogated. Once again, any help greatly appreciated. Thanks Mike
