IMPORTANT:
Power protection for the HPPP Administrator is essential. The HPPP Administrator is
the central point of control of the power management environment. If the HPPP Administrator goes
down, the ability to gracefully shut down attached servers is lost.
NOTE:
For the latest supported operating systems, see the HP website
HPPP Client
The HPPP Administrator provides both status and shutdown information to the HPPP Client. The HPPP Client
runs on a server and allows the software to gracefully shut down the operating system of that server and run
a script during power failure. Install the HPPP Client on any server that is powered by the UPS and any server
that the software uses to initiate a command. However, it is not necessary to install the HPPP Client on the
server running the HPPP Administrator component.
