 Posted: Wed Jun 09, 2004 10:11 am Post subject: alternative to multilink software for liebert powersure ups? |
 |
|
I have the liebert powersure ups. I can connect the ups to the comp using a serial cable. The software supplied by them for montioring the ups is multilink -3.5 which is a 20MB binary. All i want to do is shutdown the comp if the battery is below a certain percentage. Is there any smaller software? Also, Multilink doesn't have any ebuilds in portage.
Thanks in advance

I'd like to know this too - but I'm trying the MultiLink software and having it not install, painfully..
shivers@server shivers $ ./ML_15_049_Linux_x86.bin ~
Using /home/shivers for temporary storage.
Unpacking to /home/shivers/ML.tar...
tail: cannot open `+89' for reading: No such file or directory
Checksumming...
Unable to perform the installation. Either the distribution
file is corrupt or there is insufficient free space in /home/shivers.
This product requires free space at least 3 times the size
of the distribution file in /tmp. If that much is available,
please try downloading the file again.
Use './ML_15_049_Linux_x86.bin <path>' to specify an alternate temporary directory.
If anyone can help it'd be greatly appreciated  (I'll post a reply if I find anything myself)
Thanks

I too have had a headache trying to get Liebert Multilink to work on my Gentoo. Has anyone had any success with this or alternative?

I just purchased a used Liebert PowerSure ProActive PSA350-230 UPS.
I was going to muck around with NUT, but I'd thought I'd give the MultiLink software a go first...
2 issues first of all:
1) Error with install script
it performs a tail of the file to extract the binary file, and it's not GNU tail friendly. Change the code inside ML_35_009_Linux_x86.bin at line 35 to
| Code: | | tail -n +89 ${file} >${taroutname} |
2) Directories don't exist
As described by igodit in the previous post.
The workaround is to create the following directories
| Code: | cd /etc/
mkdir -p rc0.d rc1.d rc2.d rc3.d rc4.d rc5.d rc6.d
|
You need to remove/rename the /opt/MultiLink directory, since we need a correct install for the Viewer program to allow you to edit the current list of devices.
So, in summary, I got up to the same point as igodit and performed the following steps:
Removed /opt/MultiLink
Created the rc?.d directories
Re-ran the installer
This will successfully complete and the script will ask if you want to start the Viewer. Press 'Yes'
Once inside the Viewer, you can create/update your UPS through the menu system.
I haven't messed around with trying to make it a standard Gentoo flavoured service, but it did successfully shutdown my PC when the batteries ran out, so I'm hoping it's not too much work to create an add-on ebuild that you install after the Liebert package to make things familiar to Gentoo users.
Hope this helps.

Hi, I know it's an old post but I'm thinking of buying a Liebert PSA650 and I'd like to know if you solved this problem. |
