NUT with Riello Sentinel Pro 2200 USB connection cant make it work

dennypage

@Unoptanio The full logs were very insightful.

NUT is being started twice in quick succession at boot. It looks like all packages are being stopped and restarted due to high initial packet loss on the WAN immediately after startup.

It's not clear clear to me why the riello driver unable able to properly communicate with the UPS on the second attempt. The first connection takes ~1 second, while the second takes ~9. Definitely not normal. Perhaps the USB connection is lingering somehow, or perhaps the UPS is overly stateful and isn't in a welcoming state for the second connection. I don't know--those are just guesses.

There are a couple of things I can suggest:

If you haven't already installed the 2.8.1 test version discussed in the main NUT support thread, I would recommend doing so. There are a lot of changes in the riello driver post 2.8.0.
You can try adding maxretry=10 to the Extra Arguments to driver section. This will instruct the driver to retry the initial connection to the riello up to 10 times, with a 5 second delay between each attempt.

In bocca al lupo

@dennypage

whit

maxretry=10

it never works

I'll try changing the USB port and also the USB cable

OK thanks for the support.
Do you know when there will be an automatic update of the Nut 2.8.1 package in pfsense?

I saw that the official stable version of free BSD 14 should be released soon. (14 november)
I think that after November 14th a new version of Pfsense will be released accordingly

Can you take care of reporting the Riello VST1100 UPS quirk to freeBSD to automatically insert it into the operating system?

We are in testing now.

Usually a new release of FreeBSD does not push a new release of pfSense. pfSense has it's own release schedule and updates the kernel as appropriate when it releases.

dennypage

@Unoptanio Yes, I will register quirks that I know have been developed and tested. I will need detail on the UPS units that you have tested it with.

dennypage

@Unoptanio Please let me know if you can try 2.8.1. Thanks.

Unoptanio

@dennypage
Mine is a working production environment.
I can't afford to have system crashes.

At the moment I have to stick with the Pfsense 2.7.0 version. stable

Can nut 2.8.1 be installed on pfsense 2.7.0?

Unoptanio

@Unoptanio

I confirm that the USB Riello Sentinel Pro 2200 randomly disconnects and does not work.
To make it work again on pfsense I found 2 ways:

go to Services\UPS\Settings and click on save without changing anything
restart the nut service

It cannot. You will have to wait until you can install 2.7.1.

This is a characteristic of NUT 2.8.0. It's best to wait until you can work with 2.8.1.

Good morning,
I updated to pfsense 2.7.1 with Nut ver 2.8.2

The quirk is always inserted in the boot loader.
hw.usb.quirk.0="0x04b4 0x5500 0x0000 0xffff UQ_HID_IGNORE"

I confirm that the Riello VST1100 UPS is working well without disconnection of the USB port

Soon I will also let you know for the "Riello Sentinel Pro 2200" and "Riello Sentinel Dual SDU 6Kw" models
