Figure 81. Dell ULNM Configurations for VMware Schema
Dell provides three solutions for VMware that are illustrated in Figure 81.
Solution 1
In this solution, ESX and ESXi hosts are controlled by vCenter (paid version only), which provides
following features:
• Agentless host management (Dell ULNM does not need to be installed on each host)
• No CLI programming, or need for vMA
• Remote graceful shutdown of multiple ESX/ESXi servers and hosted VMs
• Ability to set hosts to maintenance mode (to use vMotion)
• A plug-in is created in vCenter for centralized IT and power management
• UPS events are accessible and configurable through vCenter
