[Linux-HA] STONITH smart-ups 1500I

[Etienne van Tonder]

I'm having some problems getting my ups to shutdown via heartbeat stonith,
I've read the archives and docs all day but I am stuck. When I look at the
log file it simply says:

ERROR: STONITH of alpha failed. Retrying....
info: Resetting node alpha with [APCSmart-Stonith]
ERROR: Host alpha not reset!
WARN: Exiting STONITH alpha process 24128 returned rc 1.

I did have the ups linked to the system via the serial port (ttyS0) with the
above result. I then changed it to use the USB cable and ran apctest, I was
able to communicate and perform all functions. I then started apcupsd and
ran apcaccess status without any problems.

In both serial and usb when I run the command:

stonith -S -t apcsmart alpha I get "stonith: APCSmart-Stonith device OK" as
the response.

This does not seem to change whether I have ttyS0 or ttyUSB0 as the device
in rpc.cfg which  currently looks like:

/dev/ttyUSB0 alpha 0

my ha.cf looks like this:

stonith apcsmart /etc/ha.d/rpc.cfg

I've tried all sorts of combinations without any success.

Does anyone have any ideas on what I can try next, am I doing something
wrong??? Does apc provide a utility I could call using the external method
to shutdown the ups.

Thanks,

Etienne.
