I tried all of the suggestions and all were good, but I still get the
message.
/dev/ttya does not seem to be a modem control port. Qutting.
In response to Alex -
I am enclosing Lori Petrosinelli's response,
Dear Pat,
I understand you are looking for a solution using an APC ShareUPS,
Powerchute Plus for Solaris in simple signalling and Solaris 2.5.1/2.6.
Please find below instructions for trying to determine if it is a shmid
error....
Abstract
This document includes a patch used to fix shared memory errors (shmid)
when starting the PowerChute plus daemon for Solaris.
Technical Description
Problem :
When attempting to start the PowerChute daemon in simple signaling mode,
either manually or via reboot, the daemon starts and stops immediately.
Solution :
1. Verify the cause of the error.
a. The powerchute error log ( powerchute.err) may record an error like :
upsd ftok error: Unable to establish BackUps Communications
upsd shmid error: Unable to estabish BackUPs Communications
upsd shmid error: Unable to establish BackUPs Communications
If no error is recorded execute the following commands in a Bourne (#)
shell from the powerchute directory:
# PWRCHUTE=/usr/lib/powerchute (assuming powerchute is installed in the
default directory)
# export PWRCHUTE
# TMPDIR=/tmp
# export TMPDIR
# ./_upsd -un 2>/etc/test
This will write the standard error to a file called test in the /etc
directory. The contents of this file will verify if the issue is indeed a
shared memory error.
2. After verifying that the issue is a shmid error follow the directions
and install the attached patch.
(See attached file: sol2free)
a. Log in a as root
b. Place the sol2free in the powerchute directory
(/usr/lib/powerchute/powerchute.ini by default).
c. Make the file executable.
# chmod a+x sol2free
d. Add a line, in bold in the below example, in the upsd script to execute
sol2free. This line neeeds to be placed before the ./_upsd is called.
For example:
./sol2free /usr/lib/powerchute/powerchute.ini 7 > /dev/null (executes the
sol2free script)
./_upsd $1 2>/dev/null& (starts the upsd process)
e. Start the upsd daemon by issuing the following command on the powerchute
directory or reboot the system.
# ./upsd
<<sol2free>>
I want to thank the Sun-Managers who took the time and effort to respond.
