Overview 7

HP UPS Power Protection Agent overview

The HP UPS Power Protection Agent runs on a local or network server and allows the management module to gracefully shut down the operating system of that server and optionally run a script during power failure. Install the agent on any machine that is powered by the UPS and any machine that the management module uses to initiate a command.

NOTE: If you are an existing HP Power Manager user, you must uninstall the HPPM Remote Agent before installing the UPS Power Protection Agent.

If the UPS Power Protection Agent is not applicable for your load devices, you can use a third-party SNMP manager to monitor the power protection. For more information, see "SNMP monitoring (on page 111)."

Install the UPS Power Protection Agent on any machine that is powered by the UPS and any machine that the management module uses to initiate a command. There are three installation options:

GUI installation—A series of dialog boxes and prompts guide you through the installation process.

Non-GUI installation—A series of commands are necessary to complete the installation.

Silent installation—A preconfigured initialization file is specified during installation. This file contains all the information a user is typically prompted to enter.

Silent installation is typically used by system administrators who have many installations that are configured identically and require minimal user interaction. During a silent installation you will:

o Install an agent through the assisted installation method that is appropriate for the operating system.

o Configure the agent exactly as the final replicated systems should be configured.

o Use the DevManRA.ini file that is generated in the directory of the application as a template in the agent silent install process.

o Change any items that should be unique, such as the Management Server IP address, through the normal operation of the software.

The following table summarizes the available installation options for each operating system.
