<DIV>Hello, i have this strange problem with APC BackUPS RS 1500 – older one
model, white one</DIV>
<DIV>under windows in powerchute is device OK, working everything ok selftest
ok, just ordinary ups.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>under CentOS 7 minimal (CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1708.iso) </DIV>
<DIV>kernel version 3.10.0-693.el7.x68_64</DIV>
<DIV>driver version 2.7.2</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>i have this strange probem: nut driver didnt start automatically with
error, </DIV>
<DIV>after i enter in console twice as root:</DIV>
<DIV>systemctl start nut-monitor.service nut-server.service -this returns
error again </DIV>
<DIV>systemctl start nut-monitor.service nut-server.service -second try –
service is running now ...</DIV>
<DIV>now upsc myups shows ups running</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>ANY SOLUTION how to autostart nut correctly with backups 1500 running? (i
also tried apcupsd but without success, this works with smartups but not with
backups, returns clean ups status and fails)</DIV>
<DIV>i tried everything what i have find on internet, tried also check system,
missing files but after two weeks with same result i need some help, starting
ups monitoring manually after every power fail is nonsense</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>just installed minimal required parts:</DIV>
<DIV>yum install epel-release</DIV>
<DIV>#yum update –y i tested it also with this update but same results</DIV>
<DIV>yum install open-vm-tools</DIV>
<DIV>yum install putty</DIV>
<DIV>yum install mc</DIV>
<DIV>yum install nano</DIV>
<DIV>yum install usbutils</DIV>
<DIV>yum install nut</DIV>
<DIV>yum install nut-cgi</DIV>
<DIV>yum install nut-client</DIV>
<DIV>yum install powerman</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>nut-scanner –U</DIV>
<DIV>shows ups APC 051D:0002 so i tried:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>/etc/ups/ups.conf:</DIV>
<DIV>[myups]</DIV>
<DIV>driver = "usbhid-ups"</DIV>
<DIV>port = /dev/usb/hiddev0</DIV>
<DIV>vendorid = "051D"</DIV>
<DIV>productid = "0002"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(also tried to comment vendor+product+port and set port=auto same
problem)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>/lib/systemd/system/nut-driver.service</DIV>
<DIV>...</DIV>
<DIV>ExecStart=-/sbin/upsdrvctl start myups -h</DIV>
<DIV>...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>with no difference, problem remains,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>cp /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/62-nut-usbups.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d/62-nut-usbups.rules</DIV>
<DIV>cp /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/nut-run.conf /etc/tmpfiles.d/nut-run.conf</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>edit /etc/udev/rules.d/52-nut-usbups.rules</DIV>
<DIV># APC - usbhid-ups</DIV>
<DIV>ATTR{idVendor}=="051d", ATTR{idProduct}=="0001", MODE="664",

<DIV>mkdir /var/run/nut</DIV>
<DIV>chown root:nut /var/run/nut</DIV>
<DIV>chmod 770 /var/run/nut</DIV>
<DIV>udevadm control --reload-rules </DIV>
<DIV>udevadm trigger </DIV>
<DIV>systemctl enable nut-monitor.service nut-server.service</DIV>
<DIV>systemctl start nut-monitor.service nut-server.service</DIV>
<DIV>reboot</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>and then i check </DIV>
<DIV>upsc myups and error, </DIV>
<DIV>systemctl status nut-server.service </DIV>
<DIV>returns error in driver service so </DIV>
<DIV>systemctl status nut-driver.service –l</DIV>
<DIV>and there is info about upsdrvctl failed to find ups ... </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>when i now enter twice</DIV>
<DIV>systemctl start nut-monitor.service nut-server.service</DIV>
<DIV>systemctl start nut-monitor.service nut-server.service</DIV>
<DIV>upsc myups </DIV>
<DIV>everything looks fine and ups communicates again</DIV>
