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)

Some features may not function correctly.

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
