1. INTRODUCTION
Dell is a world class supplier of hardware and software optimizing business continuity on your
Microsoft virtual platforms worldwide. The system includes controlling proper boot and graceful
shutdown of:
The virtual machines hosted on a same physical machine.
The main operating system hosting Microsoft Hyper-V or Hyper-V Server.
Dell UPS Local Node Manager is Dell’s solution to automate various data security functions.
It:
Continuously waits for information from the UPS Management Card (Dell PN H910P)
connected to the Dell UPS.
Warns administrators and users if AC power fails
Proceeds to shutdown system before the end of battery backup power is reached.
Restarts machines when AC power restarts.
Microsoft Hyper-V (or Hyper-V Server) controls the Virtual Machine’s shutdown and restart
functions. Dell UPS Local Node Manager can be installed on the main operating system (hosting
Hyper-V).
Dell UPS Local Node Manager will consolidate information from the UPS which is supplying the
server. Advantages of installing our protection software on the main operating system (hosting
Hyper-V) include:
Only one deployment of Dell ULNM on physical machine, to manage all virtual machines.
Silent deployment possibility.
Dynamic management of virtual machines configuration, with a personalized script.
This manual will guide you through the installation and configuration process of the Dell UPS Local
Node Manager on Microsoft Hyper-V (or Hyper-V Server) platform.
Dell tested virtualization security in a redundant power supply configuration, for system shutdown,
electrical shutdown, and reboot.
