[forwarded without attachment] I’ve not been able to solve some issues regarding the communication between a NUT Server running the MACOSX-UPS driver and the NUT clients on networked NAS’es.
NUT Software installed on a Macmini running OSX Yosemite has managed to shutdown the networked devices, a Readynas and a Synology NAS, being all devices powered by the same UPS. Network setup: Network UPS Management Software: NUT ver 2.7.3, installed via Fink Commander in Mac mini. Driver: MACOSX-UPS Ver 1.1 Macmini running NUT Server connected via USB to the UPS: Model Name: Mac mini mid 2011 System Version: OS X 10.10.4 (14E46) Kernel Version: Darwin 14.4.0 UPS: APC Back-UPS 550 BE550G NAS #1: Model: Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ v1 [X-RAID] Firmware: RAIDiator 4.1.14 [1.00a043] Memory: 1024 MB [2.5-3-3-7] NAS #2: Model name: Synology DS211j DSM version: DSM 5.2-5592 Update 1 NUT Terminal commands and output: A-Mac-mini:~ admmacmini$ sudo /sw/sbin/upsdrvctl start Password: Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.3 Network UPS Tools - Mac OS X UPS meta-driver 1.1 (2.7.3) Warning: This is an experimental driver. Some features may not function correctly. kill: No such process A-Mac-mini:~ admmacmini$ sudo /sw/sbin/upsd Network UPS Tools upsd 2.7.3 kill: No such process /sw/etc/nut/upsd.conf is world readable listening on 10.0.2.151 port 3493 listening on 127.0.0.1 port 3493 /sw/var/run/ups is world readable Connected to UPS [ups]: macosx-ups-ups /sw/etc/nut/upsd.users is world readable A-Mac-mini:~ admmacmini$ upsc ups battery.charge: 42 battery.runtime: 180 battery.voltage: 13.010 device.mfr: (unknown) device.model: Back-UPS ES 550 FW:843.K2 .D USB FW:K2 device.type: ups driver.name: macosx-ups driver.parameter.pollinterval: 2 driver.parameter.port: auto driver.parameter.synchronous: no driver.version: 2.7.3 driver.version.internal: 1.1 ups.status: OL CHRG A-Mac-mini:~ admmacmini$ Comments: 1.- The two NAS’es performed a shutdown after UPS power loss. Main objective accomplished. 2.- The Readynas acknowledges partial connection to the UPS server, the following messages can be read: a.- Frontview Health Report See fig ‘A" b.- Frontview Log See fig “B" 3.- The Synology inconsistently acknowledges connection to the UPS server , the following messages can be read: a.- Control Panel UPS setup menu See fig “C" b.- Logs Report See fig “D" 4.- Although the communication problem between the UPS server and the NAS’es NUT clients has not been solved, it doesn’t affect the main function, which is to shutdown the NAS’es during a power loss of the UPS. I’ll appreciate any help in setting up the NUT server configuration to improve the communication between the clients and the server. Thanks, Adolfo Yanes
