Update to the Latest Nut Version From the Geekery

PythonIcon.png Skill level: Advanced
The instructions on this page may require deviations from standard procedures. A good understanding of linux and Koozali SME Server is recommended.


This How to is outdated and is not reflecting exactly what is needed, However good settings are imported by default in sme9 --Stephdl (talk) 09:18, 12 February 2015 (CET)

see bugzilla:8793 and bugzilla:8826

Install Geekery Repository

  • for sme8
/sbin/e-smith/db yum_repositories set geekery repository \
 Name 'geekery repository' \
 BaseURL 'http://geekery.altervista.org/geekery/el5/$basearch' \
 EnableGroups no \
 GPGCheck yes \
 GPGKey http://geekery.altervista.org/download.php?filename=GEEKERY-GPG-KEY \
 Visible no \
 status disabled

After adding it to the database updating the configuration file is required:

signal-event yum-modify
  • for sme9
/sbin/e-smith/db yum_repositories set geekery repository \
 Name 'geekery repository' \
 BaseURL 'http://geekery.altervista.org/geekery/el6/$basearch' \
 EnableGroups no \
 GPGCheck yes \
 GPGKey http://geekery.altervista.org/download.php?filename=GEEKERY-GPG-KEY \
 Visible no \
 status disabled

After adding it to the database updating the configuration file is required:

signal-event yum-modify

Update Nut

yum --enablerepo=geekery update nut

If you are installing a USB UPS, softlink this file in udev rules directory:

ln -s /lib/udev/rules.d/62-nut-usbups.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/62-nut-usbups.rules

and reload udev rules and trigger device detection with these commands:

  • for sme8
udevcontrol reload_rules
udevtrigger
service nut restart
  • for sme9
udevadm control --reload-rules
service nut restart

hosts.allow

NUT uses TCP-Wrappers to provide controlled access to the daemon upsd. To allow this add a fragment to the templates

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/services
vim /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/services/30Nut

and paste

#Nut Service
nut              3493/tcp                       # Network UPS Tools
nut              3493/udp                       # Network UPS Tools

then

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/hosts.allow/
mc -e /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/hosts.allow/upsd

Paste in the fragment

{
	$DB->hosts_allow_spec('nut','nut');
}

and expand the template & restart the service (if you have already configured the ups per Uninterruptable_Power_Supply)

expand-template /etc/hosts.allow
service nut restart

Then follow the excellent instructions at Uninterruptable_Power_Supply

Why

I have a Dell UPS Rack 1920W - if doesn't work on the standard Nut version. After this upgrade it does on the default configuration.
