SNMP shutdown of ReadyNAS 6.10.9 using CyberPower UPS not working
CyberPower rack-mount UPS CP1500PFCRM2U powering 4 ReadyNAS boxes (212, 314, 424, 528X). All are Ethernet connected including UPS using RMCARD205 optional Ethernet Card. ReadyNAS are all con...
I didn't intend for you to make the USB option permanent. I am simply asking to see if the settings on the UPS seem to work correctly with another connection method because this sounds more like an issue with those settings than with the NAS or SMTP itself.
Understood, was just giving you broader info. USB works just fine, same as SNMP in terms of connecting to ReadyNAS. I do not know if USB does a better job of actual shutdown on low battery, have not run that test yet. I spent hours debugging this with AI tools, no resolution yet. I moved onto the UGreen NAS issues, and discovered myriad issues, ticket has been opened with UGreen.
OK. FYI, a good way to test without the NAS actually shutting down if the USPS shuts down before sending the power-down command is to connect the NAS directly to power and the UPS to some other load (a 100W incandescent bulb is a good one).
Do you get any status messages from the UPS when its input power is removed (like "UPS is on battery power")?
I missed this good suggestion from both you and Stephen. That's a super idea, simple. Instead of this, I've done it the "live" way, meaning pulling AC power from the main system. The ReadyNAS UPS connection GUI switches to "on battery" almost instantly (changes from green to yellow color as well). And same when I plug AC power back in - switches back to "online" immediately. I'm going to run the testing again with your suggestion, thank you!
