kouignamann Posted December 6, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 6, 2019 (Discaimer : I've already posted in the french section but in a effort to broader my audience, I give it a try here) I've just purchased a Ellipse ECO 650 USB FR (EL650USBFR) UPS Unfortunately, I've battled with it for two hours trying to get DSM to detect it without success. My config HP Proliant Gen 8 Server Xeon e3-1220 V2 16 GB RAM IBM M1015 (IT mode) ESXI 6.7 - the HP version ("HPE Custom Image for ESXi 6.7 GA"). Jun's Loader v1.03b DS3615xs Basically, I've added a USB controler to my VM and a USB peripheral "EATON Ellipse ECO" Which gives me nothing in the configuration panel in DSM. "No UPS attached" Even though, running a "lsusb" give me a USB peripheral "EATON Ellipse Eco". So at least it's somewhere. By writing these lines I've just realized that DS3615xs doesn't support my UPS. https://www.synology.com/fr-fr/compatibility?search_by=category&category=upses&filter_brand=EATON&p=1 This is unfortunate. Is it dead or - given that I run xpenology and not really a DS615xs - there is a workaround ? I've found this thread from 2013 A few things : My "/usr/syno/etc/ups/ups.conf" is by default with "driver = triplite_usb" I believe that my USB UPS supports driver "usbhid-ups" (from NUT website and various terminal commands I ran) So, I've edited the up.conf file, changing : driver = usbhid-ups productid = the pid of my UPS vendorid = the vid of my UPS (which is "fffff" weird) Then I've spent 30 minutes finding how to escape vim 🥴 From the thread mentionned above I've run a check :usbhid-ups -u root -DDD -a ups But it spits various error among them a "usb descriptor thing". My USB device descriptor appears to be too long. Something something, me no likey Writing those lines I just realize that I was logged as "admin" but ran the command with "-u root" (I don't know the root pw. my admin account has admin privilege). So, maybe : usbhid-ups -u admin -DDD -a ups Among the errors, I sometimes get error saying the USB device cannot be accessed. Elsewhere on the forum I've seen people modifying the chmod of some folder in order to extend the USB device accessibility. Hum. Any clues ? Am I entirely wrong ? Last chance would be to create a small headless VM just to run a NUT server in ESXI. But meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
