Product Description

Product DescriptionProduct Description

HP Rack and Power Manager, version 1.0 is enterprise-grade software that ensures maximum power reliability of computer systems through comprehensive control of HP Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPSs) and the HP rack environmental monitor, the Console Management Controller (CMC). This software provides comprehensive device control in datacenter environments where multiple users need to access and manage many devices both locally and remotely. A familiar browser interface provides secure remote access (128-bit SSL encryption) to management agents anywhere on your network. HP Rack and Power Manager allows users to schedule system shutdowns, control power failure settings, and define UPS load segments to allow for maximum uptime of critical servers. This software offers several new features, such as, the ability to configure redundant UPSs and system event handling, which allows users to establish power and environmental failure policies with programmed automatic responses. HP Rack and Power Manager software can be configured to send alert traps to HP Insight Manager or other SNMP-management programs, or runs as a standalone power management system. This flexibility allows you to monitor, manage and control the rack and power environments of networked and serially-attached devices (CMC's & UPS's) regardless of your system management method. For ease of configuration, HP Rack and Power Manager can be configured to perform device auto-discovery and copy event configurations of already managed devices to newly managed devices. To facilitate day-to-day maintenance tasks, the software provides detailed system logs and system diagnostics including UPS battery checks.

Individual and legacy utilities are available on on the website as downloadable softpaqs. For more

System Administrators can control system UPSs and Console Management Controllers from an integrated console either locally or remotely. Provides the ability to establish power failure policies and automatically respond 24x7 to power faults or security risks without IT administrators present. Device actions can be performed on any device that is being managed. Example.
