Dell UPS Management Software: VMware vCenter Shutdown Scenarios
20
Note: Host Shutdown Failure: In previous versions of the MUMC client, there was an issue that
allowed the shutdown of a host with active VMs to fail, as shown in the screenshot below.
Figure 26: vCenter  Recent Tasks
An effective work-around is to set Maintenance Mode to “Enabled.” This will set the host to
maintenance mode and then request shutdown and complete the process. Example screenshot of the
failure is below. The problem has been resolved with Dell UPS Management Software, Release 2,
01.04.0010 (A02).
Summary
Using Dell’s console, MUMC, as an agentless plug-in with VMware vCenter provides integrated power
management, visibility and control.
