Scenario 2: Mass configuration of all ULNM agents and Dell UPSs on a network

The Dell Multi-UPS Management Console (MUMC) can be used to manage, monitor and configure
multiple instances of the ULNM application running on remote servers. MUMC can also manage multiple
UPSs on a customer network, as well as monitor intelligent PDUs and non-Dell UPSs that conform with
specific SNMP MIB specifications. (See the MUMC user guide for a complete list of supported MIBs and
protocols.) Finally, MUMC can also be used as an agentless method to control VMware or Citrix
virtualization hosts when used with vCenter or XenCenter. (Management of virtualization platforms is
not covered in this Technical Information Note.)

To use MUMC for mass configuration of ULNM agents:

Install MUMC on a remote PC/server. MUMC cannot be installed on a computer already running ULNM.
If a remote computer is not available, MUMC can be used instead of ULNM as a shutdown agent. To do
this, remove the ULNM software from the computer, install the MUMC software, and enable the
Shutdown module in “System”  “Module Settings.” Note that the “Shutdown Controller” option is not
available in MUMC, so it cannot be used as a main shutdown controller for multiple ULNM agents.

Perform a Range Scan to discover all ULNM agents and networked Dell UPSs on the network.
Choose “Auto Discovery”  “Range Scan”  and then enter a range of IP addresses for the servers
hosting the ULNM applications.

After the scan, confirm that all ULNM applications and the Dell UPS are shown in the Auto Discovery
menu.
