Installation on a VMware ESX Server

Installation on a VMware ESX Server
This guide describes the installation and configuration of the Dell UPS Management Software on a
VMware
®
ESX
®
Server.
Dell UPS Management Software allows you to connect a 3.x or 4.x VMware ESX Server with a UPS
through the UPS RS‐232 port, USB port, or through the Network Management Card. The software will
be monitored and configured by a remote Agent on either a Microsoft Windows or Linux platform (see
Figure 106).
The software notifies the VMware server of power events or UPS alerts with pop‐up broadcast
information on the console. It also safely shuts down the VMware ESX server and the guest operating
system.
Before the VMware ESX system shuts down, use the shutdown.sh script to shut down the guest
operating system.
All operations are tested on VMware server with two guest operating systems (SBS 2003 and Red Hat)
when the certain conditions exist, such as:
S UPS Battery is low
S Battery backup time is reached
S Battery discharge time is reached
Tested operations include:
S Safely shuts down the VMware server
S Safely shuts down the guest operating system
S Software notifies the VMware server of power events or the UPS alerts
