[UPS] QNAP and Synology don't communicate

[qnappekop]

Hi,

I have 2 Synology's (DS710+, DS212+) and one Qnap TS 239Pro. All with the latest firmware.

I tried to connect a APC Smart-UPS 750 to QNAP and Synology by USB which works great. The problem is that the UPS server-function is not communicating with the other brand NAS.

For example:
Synology DS212+ Master <--> Synology DS710+ Slave = OK
Synology DS212+ Master <--> QNAP TS239Pro Slave = NOT OK
QNAP TS239Pro Master <--> Synology DS710+ Slave = NOT OK
QNAP TS239Pro Master <--> Synology DS212+ Slave = NOT OK

Is there a way to get this working using UPS-Server functions?
I have connected all NAS to the UPS and I need this function badly...

After some searching in the hart of the QNAP, I found that the user(name) of /mnt/HDA_ROOT/.config/ups/ups.conf on the QNAP-NAS and on the Synology /usr/syno/etc/ups/ups.conf are different:

Synology (Slave):
[ups]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto

QNAP (Master):
[qnapups]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = /dev/ttyS1
desc = "Workstation"
pollinterval=1

With a command from a Syno I can get info from QNAP:

Code: Select all

upsc qnapups@<QNAP-IP>

Is there a nice way to add the standard Syno user to the QNAP configuration?

What "standard user" are you talking of here? This Syno config shows a (USB) UPS HID connection, not a slave.

Hmm, I changed on my Syno the file /usr/syno/etc/ups/upsmon.conf

Code: Select all

MONITOR qnapups@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx monuser secret slave

(changed ups@... to qnapups@...)

Restarted the Syno UPS monitor service with:

Code: Select all

upsmon -c reload

And my Syno communicates with his QNAP buddy!

I don't know if it will survive a firmware-update or even a reboot, though.....

We'll see....

Working for me in the same way. Great work. Thanks!

@QNAP,
To improve the interworking between diffrent devices it's maybe better to change the name back to "UPS" from "QNAPUPS" - or make it changable via the GUI.

Unfortunately it seems that since the last DSM update (DSM 5.2-5565 Update 2) this very useful trick isn't working anymore. I can't figure why: the qnap is still recognized (upsc qnapups@<QNAP_IP> is working fine), but by the DSM itself (in web interface it is claimed that the connexion to the UPS server is not possible).

Code: Select all

upsmon -c reload

returns:

Code: Select all

Network UPS Tools upsmon SDS5-2-5565-critbranch-2-150528

But the UPS seems not being suppoted anymore.

i tried doing the reverse, synology master and qnap client but couldn't get it to work.

i changed upsmon.conf on my qnap nas to:

Code: Select all

MONITOR ups@192.168.0.4 1 monuser secret slave
