[solved] UPS configuration / OMV5 / USB

Hi guys,

I want to configure my UPS to OMV5. The UPS is connected to the server with USB.

repro steps:

- server shutdown

- connect UPS power

- connect UPS USB to server

- startup UPS

- startup server

lsusb shows me:

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0001:0000 Fry's Electronics

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

It will not run, by just activating the plugin with default settings.

If I try so, I get:

Can someone help me on, on how to configure OMV? Can it be done alone in GUI or is some CLI necessary?

Thanks and have a great day!

One step ahead, I think I can answer my question and solve the problem by myself. Contributing to the community - hopefully - with this information.

After researching a bit I came across: https://networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html

There, you can filter on e.g. manufacturer, model and connection type like USB, which I am using. So far, my brand/model is not listed, but anyway.

There a lot of UPS'es that use usbhid-ups and blazer_usb, the first ist by default given in OMV.

I simply tried out blazer_usb, saved and applied and it works.

Some other infos from the CLI:
