Multi-UPS Management Console

Question

I've been trying to set up the Dell UPS management software to shut down my virtual machines and hosts when the power fails. I have installed the Dell Multi-UPS Management Console on my vcenter server. The software has found my UPS and I have configured Virtualzation and added a supervisor (My Vcenter Server) in the Settings section. From my understanding the program should populate the nodes with my hosts and vm's, so I can configure a graceful shutdown etc etc. The problem is that nothing seems to happen, I cannot see any host or Virtual Machine information. My setup: 2 X Dell PE 610 (ESXi 5.0 Hosts) 1 X Dell PE 510 (Vcenter 5.0 server) 1 X Dell MD3200 2 X Dell  1920w UPS Thanks

Nitsuj7,

Have you configured the console actions yet?

This link is to the manual, if you go to section 3 it discusses the configuration of the nodes.

Let me know how it goes.

HI

Looks like it was the windows firewall stopping the connection between MUMC and vcenter. Seems to work now.

I also enabled the vCenter Plugin. The plugin shows up in vcenter, but when I go to the Dell MUMC tab in vcenter i get:

"Navigation to the webpage was canceled" in the window. Any Ideas?

Hi.

You could reference this article: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1010030

And also check your firewall is allowing the Dell UPS/MUMC ports to communicate properly:

Protocol	Mode/Port	DELL MUMC	DELL ULNM	DELL ULNM with	DELL NMC
Protocol	Mode/Port	DELL MUMC	DELL ULNM	Shutdown controller	DELL NMC
SMTP	TCP/25	OUT	OUT	OUT	OUT
DHCP/BOOTP	UDP/67	x	x	X	OUT
TFTP	UDP/69	OUT	OUT	OUT	IN
HTTP	TCP/80	OUT	OUT	OUT	IN
NTP	UDP/123	x	x	x	OUT
SNMP	UDP/161	OUT	OUT	OUT	IN
SNMP Traps	UDP/162	x	x	x	OUT
UNMP	UDP/200	IN/OUT	IN/OUT	IN/OUT	x
HTTPS	TCP/443	OUT	OUT	OUT	IN
Dell Supervision	TCP/4679	IN/OUT	IN/OUT	IN/OUT	x
Dell Notification Broadcast	UDP/4679	IN/OUT	IN/OUT	IN/OUT	IN/OUT
Dell SSL Supervision	TCP/4680	IN/OUT	IN/OUT	IN/OUT	x
Dell Alarms Broadcast	UDP/4680	IN	IN	IN	OUT
Dell Connected Alarms	TCP/5000	OUT	OUT	OUT	IN
Dell Connected Alarms	TCP/5001	OUT	OUT	IN	x

Hope this helps!

Fix it!  Its just the windows IE security settings stopping the webpage from showing. Thanks for your help
