Hi,
I don't really know in which forum I should post questions about the UPS service not starting, so I figured here would be the place to start.. Yesterday I've upgraded Freenas from 8.04 Media to 8.3.0 P1 (x64) due to UPS issues with with 8.0.4. Now, however, Freenas still won't start the UPS service. I've bought a APC BE700G-GR Back UPS ES 700 some time ago which worked fine with Freenas prior to 8.04. Now however I'm struggling to get things to work.
The first problem I face is rather simple (I hope) the tutorial on doc.freenas.org about setting up the UPS says that when plugging in any USB device, the console messages screen (the one on the bottom of the freenas web GUI) should show what kind of device was plugged in which USB port on the motherboard. Whatever kind of device I plug in to any USB port; nothing shows up in the messages screen, so I have no clue what port to select when setting up the UPS service.
Second; previously I selected he APC BACKUPS pro (which uses the same generic driver as most of the other UPS'es listed) and things worked kinda out-of-the-box. Now, perhaps due to the USB-port problem, when applying changes the console shows a message like:
I hope someone here can help me with this.. thanks!
