Hi there,
I had to replace a broken UPS, and replaced the host that was controlling the NUT server. It was a very problematic "Salicru" UPS. I replaced it with an APC one.
After replacing and adding a slave on openmediavault to connect to the master, I started having a lot of notice emails (every 5 minutes) saying that the old UPS couldn't be connected to. Going to the web UI, diagnostics, everything was fine. Going to the shell and issuing "upsc newups@newhostcontrollerIP" was fine as well. issuing the old UPS "upsc salicru@oldcontrollerIP" gave bad results, obviously.
If you ever are on this situation do the following:
1) uninstall the openmediavault-nut plugin;
2) SSH into the machine and purge the nut, nut-client, nut-server packages - "apt purge nut; ... etc";
3) re-install the plugin and reconfigure.
It was the only way I could get rid of the notice emails about the system being unable to contact the old UPS.
Thank you,
