Description Martin 2010-11-23 20:21:14 UTC
NUT 2.4.3-r2: upsdrv, upsd and upsmon all start up fine.

The attached UPS is a Liebert Powersure XT connected via usb using "/lib/nut/usbhid-ups -a liebert"

Trying a user generated forced shutdown from root using "upsdrvctl -u nut shutdown" shuts the system down but not the UPS. The console log displays at the end the error message:

Shutdown failed
Driver failed to start

Is the problem that "usbhid-ups" and the usb have already been shut down?

For example, a UPS initiated shutdown gives in the logs:

01:27:34  shutdown[22454]: shutting down for system reboot
01:27:38  init: Switching to runlevel: 6

01:27:46  upsmon[22313]: Signal 15: exiting
01:27:46  upsd[5448]: User nut@127.0.0.1 logged out from UPS [liebert]
01:27:46  upsmon[22311]: upsmon parent: read
01:27:47  upsd[5448]: mainloop: Interrupted system call
01:27:47  upsd[5448]: Signal 15: exiting
01:27:47  usbhid-ups[22199]: Signal 15: exiting

01:28:21  mountd[4456]: Caught signal 15, un-registering and exiting.

01:28:21  rpc.statd[4382]: Caught signal 15, un-registering and exiting.

01:28:27  syslog-ng[4006]: Termination requested via signal, terminating;
01:28:27  syslog-ng[4006]: syslog-ng shutting down; version='3.1.2'

Logging to file stops at this point. Further logging is shown on the screen including:

Shutdown failed
Driver failed to start

The system must then be manually reset/restarted, the UPS remains on.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Cause a forced shutdown either by removing mains input or by giving upsdrvctl command
2. The PC runs through a shutdown sequence
3. Shutdown fails to complete


Actual Results:  
The PC appears to halt but remains powered up, and the UPS remains powered up.

Expected Results:  
Graceful shutdown of the PC followed by shutdown (auto power off) of the UPS. Followed by upon reapplication of mains power to the UPS: UPS power up and PC power up.

Curiously, the upscmd command lists no 'instant' commands:

# upscmd -l liebert
Instant commands supported on UPS [liebert]:



Also note that the powerdown flag is "/etc/killpower". Does the nut user require write access to /etc to set that?...

Comment 4 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-04-28 06:29:34 UTC
I guess it won't change this bug, but just for the record, can you try 2.6.0 too?
Comment 5 Billy DeVincentis 2012-05-02 12:47:10 UTC
Is there anything able to be done about this?
Comment 6 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2013-08-12 06:33:07 UTC
openrc/williamh:
In the case of a powerfail shutdown, we need the UPS services to NOT be stopped at all. Suggestions welcomed as to how to do this sanely.

We need these services to stay up:
upsd
upsdrv* (either base or symlinked to upsdrv)
upsmon
Comment 7 William Hubbs gentoo-dev 2013-08-16 05:38:41 UTC
@robbat2:
You might look into setting up a powerfail or powerwait line in
/etc/inittab and have a custom runlevel with only the ups services in
it. You will also probably need a powerokwait line.

Check man inittab for the info; let me know if you want me to write
something up. I won't be able to test I don't think since I do not have
the ups.

williamh:
If you want to write it, I can test it, having multiple UPS & systems.
