HP-UX UPS Monitor Error Messages
Log-Only Messages
MESSAGE
ups_mond: UPS <tty special file name> could not execute
command <command string>; returned <string> - possible bad
signal cable
SEVERITY Warning/Error. A command sent to the PowerTrust unit had unpredictable
results.
MEANING After a command was sent to the PowerTrust device configured as <tty special
file name>, the status returned was not as expected for either success or
failure conditions.
CAUSE Either the RS-232 communication link between the host and the PowerTrust
unit is intermittent, or the PowerTrust unit is faulty.
ACTION 1. Check the I/O hardware components that comprise the
communications link from the SPU to the PowerTrust unit.
2. Check the PowerTrust hardware for correct cable connections,
power-on/off condition, and front panel conditions.
3. If neither of the first two action steps above corrects the problem, the
PowerTrust unit is probably faulty and should be replaced.
MESSAGE
ups_mond: warning - shutdown delay or shutdown timer
parameter in configfile <configfilename> missing or not
greater than zero; using default
SEVERITY Warning/Error.
MEANING A value in the PowerTrust configuration file for setting the amount of delay
time before graceful shutdown is missing or has not been set. The default
value will be used instead.
CAUSE The shutdown delay value in the PowerTrust configuration file is missing or
has not been set.
ACTION Edit the PowerTrust configuration file to set the shutdown delay value.
