Dell UPS Management Software: VMware vCenter Shutdown Scenarios

UPS communications:
The Dell UPS must be connected to an IP network using the optional Dell
Network Management Card (NMC).
USB communications are not supported for the
virtualized “Agentless” applications discussed in this document.
Survivable network connectivity:
The MUMC client must retain IP communications with both the UPS
and vCenter at all times. Take care to ensure that network switches and other networking equipment
are covered by UPS protection and suitable redundancy built into the network. If network connectivity
is considered a weak link in the architecture, the optional ULNM agent can be installed on the local
ESXi host to act as a local shutdown agent that can take action even when connectivity to the main
MUMC client has been lost. This approach is not discussed in this document.
Network ports:
The following table provides protocol, mode and port reference for Dell NMC cards.
Shown for reference only are ULNM (Dell’s node manager) with a Shutdown Controller agent and Dell
ULNM.
Table 1. Protocol, mode/port listing
vCenter IP Ports:
The MUMC Client will only communicate with vCenter through the default port 443.
When installing vCenter take care to use the standard port. Future software releases may support non-
standard communications ports.
Installing the software
If using Dell UPS Management Software Release 1, install vSphere Perl SDK to the Windows OS where
you intend to install the MUMC client .
This dependency was removed in Dell UPS Management Software, Release 2, 01.04.0010 (A02). Check
the documentation that accompanied the download for your version. If not current, download from
support.dell.com or fro
as described in “Prerequisites” earlier in this document.
