So I've got an older APC Smart-UPS 1500 which I'd like to monitor from<br>
omnios via usb. I plugged it into one of my linux boxes just to verify<br>
how it presented the usb interface, and NUT said:<br>
<br>
driver = "usbhid-ups"<br>
port = "auto"<br>
vendorid = "051D"<br>
productid = "0002"<br>
product = "Smart-UPS 1500 RM FW:617.3.D USB FW:1.5"<br>
serial = "AS0411320933"<br>
vendor = "TRIPP LITE"<br>
bus = "002"<br>
<br>
So I believe NUT should support it with the standard hid driver. I went<br>
looking for how to setup usb ups support under omnios, and didn't find<br>
too much. Most of the results for Solaris talk about forcing the device<br>
to use the ugen driver rather than the hid driver, but I found some<br>
posts on the NUT mailing list saying that's not really needed anymore,<br>
and you should be able to monitor it as a hid device.<br>
<br>
At this point, I've got it plugged in, and it shows up as:<br>
<br>
usb3/1.2 usb-input connected unconfigured ok<br>
<br>
usb3/1.2 connected unconfigured ok Mfg:<br>
American Power Conversion Product: Smart-UPS 1500 RM FW:617.3.D USB<br>
FW:1.5 NConfigs: 1 Config: 0 : 1<br>
<br>
It looks like it's connecting as a HID device, although it's showing up<br>
as unconfigured. I haven't installed NUT yet, so maybe it will be as<br>
simple as running it and the device will be automagically configured and<br>
start working ;). But while I'm spinning up NUT, I wanted to see if<br>
there was any more up to date advice on how to monitor a usb hid type<br>
ups under omnios.<br>
<br>
Thanks...<br>
