Cyber Power Systems - CP850PFCLCD - Working

[clicq]

Yes, I have the 1000VA and not the 850. It shows up in the messages log at the bottom of the web interface.

Yes I have no messages whatsover from UPS services.. Except maybe when it boots... What's in your ups.log?

So I swapped USB cables and the message appeared again :(.

My ups.log looks similar:

If this is too much of a thread hijack, let me know -- I was just excited to see that somebody had a Cyberpower PFC UPS working without any issues.

Also, http://forums.freenas.org/index.php...ected-message-yet-ups-is-communicating.18177/ is another user with a similar issue, though different UPS.

 

[Yatti420]

I don't see these at all with default settings pretty much... Have you tried increasing the poll frequency? Try a different USB port maybe.. See http://forums.freenas.org/index.php...necting-then-disconnecting.18712/#post-104044

http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/man/ups.conf.html

 

[clicq]

I increased the poll frequency to 10s; I'll report back in a few hours whether the problem is solved or not.

 

[clicq]

Changing the poll frequency didn't help; I'll try switching USB ports next

 

[SweetAndLow]

Just remember to choose the cpcf1000pfclcd usbhid driver and all should work well.. This is most basic.. Single UPS wired with USB..

You said CPCF1000PFCLCD driver, was that a typo? Did you actually mean CP1000PFCLCD?

 

[Yatti420]

Yes that is correct..

 

[Yatti420]

Any luck so far?

 

[meowmeows]

I have the same issue with the 1000VA PFC. I'm using a Haswell system (Thinkserver TS140). Doesn't seem to have any negative effects though.

 

[SweetAndLow]

no luck so far. I have played with the poll frequency, poll interval as well as other options the GUI gives you. I have also contacted Cyberpower for help and they don't have any best practices and don't really help much when you aren't using their supplied software.

 

[Yatti420]

Maybe a different USB provider in the 1000va versus 850va.. I have nothing in the console regarding UPS..

 

[SweetAndLow]

I filed a bug: https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/4640

 

[scurrier]

Was the issue ever resolved? About to buy a UPS...

 

[SweetAndLow]

no, dev's just marked resolved with no reason why. I can't reopen it. I did some debugging but didn't get anywhere. I would like to have the ability to configure the upsd.conf so i can set a MAXAGE value this would allow the driver to not respond to the upds process for longer than 15 seconds and everything would be fine. I modified it but need to relaod the config and bumping the process from the gui rewrites the config from the db. Might have to just use "service restart"

 

[SweetAndLow]

New bug: https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/4914

 

[scurrier]

Thanks man. I decided on the 1350 model so I'll let everyone know how it works out.

 

[Yatti420]

The 850 seems to be fine (mine) other people are having issues with the 1000+ models apparently.. @SweetAndLow I would probably start a discussion over a NUT to see if you can get a solution.. The only time I've ever had a problem logged is when the UPS was on the wrong power cord and the UPS was still connected and complaining (as you would want it to)..

I just got the CyberPower CP1350PFCLCD and it's working like a champ. I just tested it and it's successfully triggering a shutdown. I selected the CP1000PFCLCD in the UPS setup and that seems to have worked fine. I can query it using the command line (upsc command iirc).

Here's what I get when I test a power loss by unplugging the ups:
