Dell UPS 4200R - Manual (Page 80)

Virtualization 81
• Ability to set hosts to maintenance mode (to use VMware ® vMotion™)
• A plug-in is created in vCenter for centralized IT and power management
• UPS events are accessible and configurable through vCenter
Solution 2
In this solution, ESX and ESXi hosts are not controlled by vCenter (paid version only), which provides
following features:
• Dell ULNM application is installed on VMware Infrastructure Management Agent (VIMA) / vMA for
each host
• Dell ULNM configurations and actions can be managed centrally from the Dell MUMC client
• Some command line programming is required
• Remote graceful shutdown of multiple ESX / ESXi servers and hosted VMs
NOTE: For paid versions, VMware suppresses the ability to control VM shutdown profiles in non-licensed ESXi
installations. There are third-party methodologies for avoiding this restriction, but this is not covered in this user
guide.
Solution 3
This solution is for ESX-only hosts (paid or free versions), which provides following features:
• Dell ULNM application is installed on each host (on either Windows or Linux VM)
• Remote graceful shutdown of each ESX host and hosted VMs
• Dell ULNM configurations and actions can be managed centrally from Dell MUMC client
