CHAPTER: Introduction

1. INTRODUCTION

Dell is a world first class supplier of hardware and software to optimize business continuity on

VMware virtual platforms. It means controlling proper boot and shutdown of the virtual machines

hosted on a same physical machine, assuring data integrity on each virtual machine.

Dell UPS Local Node Manager is the Dell solution to automate various data security functions.

This software will:

Continuously wait for information from Network Management Card connected to the Dell

UPS.

Warn administrators and users if AC power fails

Proceeds system shutdown before the end of battery backup power is reached.

Restarts machines when AC power restarts.

VMware ESX controls shutdown and restart functions directly from the administration console, or

from an application hosted on the ESX layer. We offer to install into VMware layer our protection

server component, Dell UPS Local Node Manager.

Installing our protection software into VMware layer will offer these advantages:

Only one deployment of Dell UPS Local Node Manager on physical machine, to manage all

virtual machines.

Silent and personalized deployment using Command Line Interface of Dell UPS Local Node

Manager.

Dynamic management of virtual machines configuration, with a personalized script.

This booklet will guide you through the installation and configuration process of Dell UPS Local Node

Manager on VMware ESX platform.

CHAPTER: Installation

Those recommendations will guide you through the installation process of Dell UPS Local Node

Manager on VMware ESX architecture to allow electric continuity.

2.1. INSTALLATION PREREQUISITES

Dell validated this how-to on an ESX Server 4.0 with a Dell UPS Local Node Manager, and a distant

administration workstation with VMware vSphere Client 4.0.

Notes:

ESX Server 3.5 is not compatible with Dell ULNM

Through Dell Network Management Card (H910P minimum firmware revision 1.08), the Dell

UPSs are compatible with Dell ULNM on ESX.

Through USB/RS232 connection, Dell UPSs should be compatible (TBC)

To allow a graceful shutdown of the Virtual machines, you have to install VM-Ware Tools on

each virtual machine.

2.1.1. WMWARE ESX SERVER 4.0 CONFIGURATION

For the automatic OS boot on start-up: you must configure physical machine to allow

automatic OS boot on start-up. This is effective in your machine’s BIOS. For further

information, see specific documentation.

To allow interactions between physical et virtual machines, VMware tools have to be

installed on each virtual machine. For further information, see VMware ESX Server

documentation.

For the automatic virtual machine boot on VMware ESX start-up:

From the Virtual Infrastructure Client interface, go in the

“Virtual machine startup / shutdown” menu



“Configuration”



“Properties”



“Start

and stop VMs with the system”, and tick “enable”.

Note:

In the « Properties…» page, you also have the possibility to define the Startup Order of your virtual

Machines:

Start and Stop VMs with the system: Enabled

Default Startup Delay: x Seconds

Default Shutdown Delay: x Seconds

Startup Order: Automatic Startup

This configuration is illustrated on the following screenshot:

CHAPTER: Installation

2.1.2. DELL HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE

The prerequisites for Dell UPS Local Node Manager installation are described in the "Dell UPS Local

Node Manager –User Guide" chapter: “Installation Prerequisites“. (http://www.dellups.com/)

For UPS systems compatibility, please refer to the chapter “Compatibility List”

2.1.3. NETWORK ARCHITECTURE

All hardware elements must have an operational network configuration that allows them to dialog

freely with each other.

Make sure in particular that ESX firewall authorizes:

Connections on TCP port 4679 and 4680 to enable a remote access for supervision and

configuration through Web Browser. These ports are reserved at IANA

(http://www.iana.org).

Connections through TCP port 80. It must be opened as a destination port (for output) on the

machine hosting Dell UPS Local Node Manager.

To enable communication between Dell UPS Local Node Manager and Dell Network

Management Card):

esxcfg-firewall -o 4679,tcp, in,EATONhttp

esxcfg-firewall -o 4680,tcp, in,EATONhttps

esxcfg-firewall -o 80,tcp,out,http

esxcfg-firewall –o 5000,tcp,out,EATONinit

esxcfg-firewall –o 4679,udp, in,EATONhttpU

esxcfg-firewall –o 4680,udp, in,EATONhttpsU

To configure your VMWare ESX Server for the network, please refer to the user guide.

CHAPTER: Installation

Download on Dell’s website the latest version of Dell UPS Local Node Manager generic version. It

will automatically detect ESX Server, and will generate shutdown command script. This shutdown.sh

script will be installed in <installation folder>/bin/tools, by default

usr/local/Dell/UPSLocalNodeManager/.

Download the latest version of Dell UPS Local Node Manager, available on DELL’s website, in

downloads section:

See http://www.dellups.com/

Download Linux generic version, known as: « Dell UPS Local Node Manager Linux x86

Console «Dell UPS Local Node Manager Linux x86 Console», named « ulnm-linux-x_xx_xxx-

i386.run ».

Caution: it is possible as well to make installation with the .rpm package. So, choose the best

package in the web page for your implementation. For example the only installation

command required for rpm package is “rpm –ivh ulnm-linux-x_xx_xxx-i386.rpm”

Upload the package on your VMware ESX environment, with a SCP Client (Example under

windows environment : WinSCP)

Connect with SSH to the VMware server (Example under Windows environment: Putty). You

must have corresponding rights to execute and install programs on VMware ESX. Refer to

VMware ESX for further information.

In the upload folder, add execution right to the package, by typing :

chmod 755 ulnm-linux-x_xx_xxx-i386.run.

Note: If you store the installation file on the shared vmfs resources in a SAN.

When you start the installer you could have an error messages "./ulnm-linux-x_xx_xxx-

i386.run: cannot execute binary file".

Solution: copy the installation source onto the local drive of the ESX server

Install Dell UPS Local Node Manager by typing:

./ulnm-linux-x_xx_xxx-i386.run -install –silent

To configure a personalized package, please refer to Dell UPS Local Node Manager manual.

At the end, connect to Dell UPS Local Node Manager using your web browser by typing :

http://<@IP-or-name-of-ESX>:4679/ (for a HTTP access)

https://<@ IP-or-name-of-ESX>:4680/ (For a HTTPS access)

You are now in front of Dell UPS Local Node Manager interface:
