Please help! I'm having trouble getting my UPS service to run correctly, running under FreeNAS 11.3-U4.1 with a CyberPower (CST135XLU) UPS connected via USB. Basically, after configuring the UPS service in the GUI (using MASTER mode and the correct port: /dev/ugen0.4), saving configuration and...

Hello Have a BlueWalker PowerWalker UPS VI 750 R1U, and I am trying to install on my FreeNAS, but is not doing so well. This model I have is not in the list. Tested with other models from PowerWalker and get the same problem: "Communication with UPS is lost". Does anyone know how to get UPS to...

Hi, I want to add redundant UPS to my FreeNAS server. Actually the UPS is already there, but of course I also want to shutdown FreeNAS (and other connected servers) when battery is low. Overview: There are two UPS, each connected to it's own RCD. The UPS are powering several servers, each...

Hi everyone, as I'm waiting for the components of my new and first FreeNAS machine to arrive, I thought to myself "It'd be wonderful if the ups could send a shutdown signal to the server when the battery is running low in case of blackout" - obviously, the documentation answered me, and this is...

Hello community, I just bought a UPS (APC Back-UPS CS 350) which seems to work very fine to shutdown my FreeNAS server. But: I want more ;) I want to shutdown other critical devices in my network automatically too. Unfortunately, the other devices are really heterogenous, so I couldn't use any...

Hi, I (tried) enabled the UPS service (through the WEB UI) and even though it is no longer running, on the console the below message keeps scrolling. Is there anyway to turn it off? upsmon[2503]: UPS [APC}: connect failed: Connection failure Connection refused Thanks, Byron

I've read every thread I can find on this, but none (including the guide and the NUT docs) actually say in clear terms, what config to enter on the UPS service dialog. So far I've never succeeded in getting the two communicating. I'm hoping someone who has got this working, can explain. The UPS...

Greetings, All - I searched the forum and did not se anything resembling my question. We are running FreeNAS-11.0-U4 (54848d13b) on a Virtual Machine. (I know this is not recommended.) Since it's running on a VM, our UPS service is Stopped and "Start on boot" is disabled. However...

I have my main server and backup on the same UPS. The USB cable from the UPS is going to my main server. Is there a way to get the backup server to shutdown if the main server has a shutdown due to a low battery on the USP? My UPS is APC Backup-UPS Pro 1000.

Things I need the UPS to accomplish #1 condition the power. in TN we have many brown outages and power spikes #2 be able to shut down the NAS #3 give our editors enough time to save and shut down their projects before the NAS shuts down (I was thinking 15 mins max.) #4 Be as cheap as possible...

Hi, after a server reboot the UPS connection failed. From /var/log/messages: freenas upsmon[33615]: UPS [ups]: connect failed: Connection failure: Connection refused /var/log/messages is spammed with that line, every five seconds! I thought the connection might have changed, so I tried...

I have an Eaton 5PX1500RTN UPS with a Network-MS card installed and I could access the Web UI when I first set it up during initial testing on a 192.168.1.1/24 network. I made sure that I used DHCP in the "Network" properties for the Eaton web card. Then I put the UPS on my actual network which...

I recently bought a Eaton 5PX1500RTN UPS(1440VA/1440W) with a Network-MS card. I connected it via ethernet and can now see the Web UI for Eaton. This thread here gave me confidence that the UPS would work via the network instead of using the USB or Serial cable/driver. Now comes the part where I...

I am currently looking at 2 different rack-mount online UPS(es?) and was wondering if anyone had any experience with either of them. Tripp Lite SmartOnline SU1500RTXL2UA (without a network card) APC SURTA2200XL (without a network card) Devices potentially connected to the UPS Primary NAS...

Wondering if anyone has been able to get one of these UPS's working? None of the CyberPower drivers that I have tried worked except the CPS 400e (usbhid-ups) which worked once, powered the system down correctly but when I started the system up again I am back to the same connect failed...

Hi! Unfortunately I have that infamous Microsol Back-Ups BZ1200-BR. It is connected at the /dev/cuaU0 port and NUT is capable to read some values correctly through the "solis" driver: root@freenas:~ # upsc ups battery.charge: 100.0 battery.voltage: 27.1 device.mfr: Microsol device.model...

For some reason, my FreeNAS box stopped emailing me when the UPS went on battery power. We lost power at my home today (PC off, clocks reset) but I didn't get an email. First, is there a way to force it to send a test email? Second, where is the email address supposed to be configured for...

Hi My APC Backup-CS USB Stopped working this week, so I got the emails every 5 minutes. However it did not do this on every boot (power reconfigurations this week so rebooting a few times) Tried to manually restart the service, failed. Unplugged and re-inserted UPS usb connector, no go. Then...

I have an APC UPS with an AP9630 network card (not using USB). I'm having issues configuring it, because the official docs are pretty minimal and ambiguous, and unfortunately so is guidance in the forum. There is an entry in the drivers list for AP9630, but the rest is unclear. Rather than...

Hello, yesterday I bought an a Lyonn CTB-800 UPS, to prevent any damages when the energy is cut off, which is quite often around here, especially during summer seasons. well, did a litle researh which ups I could buy, and found the ups supported list http://networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html...

Hi all, I am running the UPS service with email alerts currently set up to come from my Gmail. However, these emails usually get stuck in Spam until I check for them later and thus do not get notified when a UPS alert comes through. Has anyone been successful in implementing any remote...

Hi All, I've got a partial ESX Demo Lab consisting of 2 Intel NUCs, with 3.5GHz CPUs and 32 GB RAM each, and with ESX as the operating system for a 2 TB SSD in each box. I'm trying to demo things like vMotion that require shared storage, and am trying to figure out if FreeNAS is the best...

Hey everyone, hopefully this will be my last plea for help before finally finishing my FreeNAS build. My rack finally came in (bought the one recommended by @BigDave in my other thread - thanks again!) and the server is installed in it, though I need an UPS system to power it and keep the...

Hello all would anyone happen to know what driver is compatible with the APC Back-UPS Network 40 (BACK-UPS BN4001)? I looked through the list of drivers and couldn't find the exact driver and the APC website has little information and not driver info.

Hi, I'm doing my burn-in tests with my new NAS box (see signature for specification), and am having trouble configuring the UPS. I have run the command: dmesg | grep -i --color 'american power conversion' Which gave me the following result: So I then went to Services to configure the UPS...

I've been trying to get my FreeNAS server to communicate with a SOLA ups S1K520. Since this model only uses a serial connection I started out by connecting both the Server and the UPS with a serial cable (15ft DB9 M/F Extension Cable). When I found out that FreeNAS was having problems trying...

Computer hardware is not something I'm usually scared of, but I know little to nothing of electrical components and until I do, will stick to the 'better safe than sorry' approach. My question comes from me being completely ignorant and confused about currents and amps and volts and the like...

Is there a method to trigger a graceful shutdown when FreeNAS loses power to a redundant power supply? I've got a Supermicro SC825 2U Rackmount Server case which has redundant Power Supplies. I've got a UPS with no USB data connection to signal power loss. I'd like to plug one PS into the UPS...

I'm looking for a UPS to protect by fresh FreeNAS build. I've never owned a UPS before, so I'm not familiar with caveats and tradeoffs associated with this purchase. Anyway, I've heard good things about APC in this forum and others, and since I can source them locally it seems like a good...

Hi, I have a APC UPS (BR100G-IN) and I have setup my FreeNAS to switch off after its been on UPS power for 10 mins (600 secs). I had tested it and its working. I have a few queries: A) The problem is that FreeNAS does not turn ON after the power is back lets say by 15 to 20 mins and the UPS...

I have read Cyberjock's "ZFS Storage Design and other FreeNAS information" PowerPoint slide and stumbled over the following entry on page 35: The resultant improper shutdowns of your system can result in a corrupted zpool that will no longer mount. Now i am curious. Let's assume i do have a...

What is everyone's opinion about lightning strikes and protecting against them. You can see from my sig below I have my main FreeNAS box and my Backup FreeNAS box both behind their own APC BR1000G. My question is to what extent do these UPSs protect from surges due to lightning strikes (direct...
