IP Address

When Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is installed on a computer, an Internet Protocol (IP) address is assigned to the system. Each address is unique and is made up of four numbers, each between 0 and 255, such as168.8.156.210.

OSGi

OSGi is a module system and service platform for the Java programming language that implements a complete and dynamic component model.

Secure Socket Layer

The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is a solution for securing transactions over the internet. SSL is a communication protocol that authenticates the data exchanged, as well as ensuring its confidentiality and integrity. The protocol uses a recognized encryption method, the RSA algorithm with a public key. SSL is built into Internet Web browsers. The padlock in the bottom of your browser screen automatically displays if the server sending information uses SSL.

Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol

TCP/IP is a family of network and communication protocols for the transport and network layers. Also known as the Internet Protocol suite of network communication protocols.

The full license version for each of these projects is available from Eaton IPM using the  Settings > System > About selection path.

Java Licensing

Eaton's advanced software (infra connector) uses the OSGI framework technology. All the constituent modules of the new features (virtualization, storage, Cisco UCS) are based on OpenJDK (Open Java Development Kit, which is a free and open source implementation of the Java Platform).

A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) must be installed on the target machine to use these features. This one can be open source, such as OpenJRE, or business, such as Oracle.

Acceptance of licenses, related to Java Runtime Environment, is the responsibility of the end user.

e-mail Criteria

To receive e-mail on UPS events:

You must indicate the SMTP server address and recipient e-mail address. Both logins and passwords are used when the SMTP server requests authentication.

For advanced use:

Optional: You can customize the subject, such as when you use a third-party service provider to translate e-mail into SMS.

Optional: You can specify that you want to receive a consolidation of the alarms that occurred during a delay time duration. For example, if you specify none, each alarm generates an e-mail. With this setting, you will receive more e-mail for the same number of events

Execute Script/Program Actions

In order to execute a program on UPS events, the program path is required.

NOTE The program is executed under the SYSTEM account.

If an action (script or program) cannot be executed under the SYSTEM account, it is necessary to modify the execution context before it can be run.

To allow a user to run specific tools and programs with permissions that are different from those assigned to the user's account, use the Windows “RunAs” command. This allows you to save the password (Windows XP Service Pac 2 and more recent versions).

Use the following Microsoft command:

runas /profile /user:<windows_ login> /savecred <my_program.exe>

When first executed, a password is required; it is saved for subsequent executions.

Configuration

Configure the Cisco UCS Manager Component

To set the UCS Manager component configuration:

1. Select Nodes Settings > “the UCS Manager component” > Shutdown Setting and click the pen icon (see Figure 30).

Figure 30. Shutdown Settings Configuration

Power source, Load Segment, Remote shutdown, Shutdown duration, Shutdown after value are standard IPM options and are not described here. The following topics are discussed:

difference between “current” and “future” options

power capping timer

global power allocation policy

policy-driven power capping

manual blade-level power capping

power control policy and priority

power budget

Difference Between “Present” and “Future” Options

The current Power Budget or Policy Priority are the values that are currently set in your UCS Manager, any change on those in IPM will set permanently the new values on UCS manager

The future Power Budget or Policy Priority are the values that will be set temporary in your blade when the

wer failure occurs, once the power come back the older values will be set back.

Power Capping Timer

The power capping timer will set the Power Capping after the duration set (in seconds). It launches immediately after a power failure. The value -1 signifies no timer set.

Configuration

Figure 31. Shutdown Settings-Set Power Capping Change Timer

Global Power Allocation Policy

The global cap policy is a global policy that specifies whether policy-driven chassis group power capping or manual blade-level power capping will be applied to all servers in a chassis.

Two global allocation policies in IPM are:

policy-driven power chassis group power capping

manual blade-level power capping

Policy-driven Chassis-level Power Capping

When policy-driven power chassis group power capping is selected in the global cap policy, Cisco UCS can, at the blade level, compute the amount of power allocated to a chassis based on priority.

A service profile has to be attached to a blade to set priorities on a blade

Figure 32. Policy-driven Power Chassis Group Power Capping

Page 45

Configuration

Manual Blade-level Power Capping

When manual blade-level power capping is configured in the global cap policy, you can manually set a power cap for each blade server in a Cisco UCS instance.

If the server encounters a spike in power usage that m Cisco UCS Manager does not disconnect or shut down the server. Instead, Cisco UCS Manager reduces the power that is made available to the server. This reduction can slow down the server, including a reduction in CPU speed.

Figure 33. Manual Blade Power Capping

eets or exceeds the maximum configured for the server,

Power Control Policy and Priority

Cisco UCS uses the priority set in the power control policy, along with the blade type and configuration, to calculate the initial power allocation for each blade within a chassis. During normal operation, the active blades within a chassis can borrow power from idle blades within the same chassis. If all blades are active and reach the power cap, service profiles with higher priority power control policies take precedence over service profiles with lower priority power control policies.

Priority is ranked on a scale of 1-10, where 1 indicates the highest priority and 10 indicates lowest priority. The

efault priority is 5.

For mission-critical applications, a special power priority cal no-cap prevents a Cisco UCS from leveraging unused power from that particular blade server. The server is allocated the maximum amount of power that the blade can reach.

Power budget allows you to specify the maximum amount of power (in watt) that the server can consume at one time.

VMware Site Recovery Manager

Eaton developed a package to allow the connection between the Power and VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM): http:\\pqsoftware.eaton.com\\inst

This package provides the following benefits:

Starts recovery process on several different events: IPM initiates the execution of recovery plan upon several different events.

Less down time for end users: VMs will be down only for the amount of time required to transfer the latest snapshot and will restart once transfer is complete. The unprotected VMs will continue to run on the primar

y site.

all\\win32\\ipm\\UserGuide_VMWareSiteRecoveryManagerIPM.pdf

Page 94

Customization for end users: You can customize the script included in the package as needed. For example, you may want to customize the SRM with IPM for low battery and protection loss features.

Unattended execution of recovery plan before server crash: SRM with IPM provide recovery even before the entire site crashes. When the SRM feature is used, the backup will be ready even before the crash, which keeps the site continually secured.

VMware LoadShedding Package

During utility failure, load shedding can reduce the effective runtime of highly critical devices because battery capacity is limited. Eaton has developed a package to allow you to perform load shedding in your VMware Data Center. The Eaton LoadShedding package provides a process of closing or shutting down less critical load so that remaining capacity can be used for highly critical loads. These modules have a simple GUI to set priority to the VMs and allow you to configure the time to shutdown /suspend the VMs of every priority.
