Help UPS

[sad111]

I have a HP r1500xr connected to uart2 /dev/cuau2 serial port is sunix ser5xxxx driver loads and i can connect to serial terminal fine, But when configuring ups I have to try multiple times before it will connect. Connection refused error if i select cuau0 then save then select cuau2 then save it will finally connect and everything works great until i reboot then i have to do it all over again until it connects. Freenas 11.1U6 any help why it will not work after reboot would be great thanks.

Is there anything I can try I would like to get this working.
ok a little more progress on reboot ups driver loads but upsd fails with fopen /var/db/nut/upsd.pid: No such file or directory .
so my problem is the pid is not being created on boot.
I tried a usb2serial adapter with same driver bcmxcp and works great just not with serial port something wrong with serial port settings.

I was correct with the pid not being created. I have found a way to make it work after reboot still get errors till fix starts then all ok.
Fix was to add task command /usr/local/sbin/upsd and postinit enabled. I am sure this is not the correct way but works now every time.
Not sure why it does not have this problem with usb2serial cable only serial port. could it be that my serial port is cuau2 witch would be 3rd serial port or just something wrong in the way it calls upsd with serial from config screen?
