Fail to detect my USB connection with UPS after reboot

[miket1234]

Hello.

I install APC USB to communicate with my UPS and all worked perfectly until I tested the full shutdown.

After shutdown , my ESXI host does not detect my UPS anymore, so I can't know when I have power or not.

The return from tail -f /var/log/vmkernel.log | grep -i USB is empty and

~ # lsusb

Bus 01 Device 01: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

~ # chkconfig usbarbitrator --list

usbarbitrator on

UPDATE :

I want to add what I have when i start and stop usbarbitrator

Update 2:

I tried this >>: Re: Error Usb arbitrator

Now the output is:

On my laptop the communication with UPS via USB cable works so now I puzzled. I don't know what else to do, so any help/ideas is appreciated.

Thanks in advance
