Chapter 3 Configuration This chapter describes how to configure the Eaton Intelligent Power Manager (IPM). Configure Nodes Each node (Network Management Card, proxy, or application) must have a valid IP address (or a DNS name) in the range that you have entered for auto-discovery (see “Compatibility” on page 2). Eaton IPM automatically receives the alarms (through notification or polling) without specific configuration on the network card, proxies, or applications.
Configuration Quick Scan The Quick Scan request is a broadcast frame on 4679 IANA reserved port and 69 standard TFTP port.
Configuration Address Scan This type of node discovery performs a single address scan (or for several IP addresses separated by the “;” character). In the Address(es) Scan dialog box, edit IP addresses to scan. l l You can check (select) the Force node(s) creation checkbox to create a node with an IP address even if the scan operation did not identify the device.
Configuration Figure 11. Address(es) Scan Dialog Box (Example 2) Scan Settings for Discovery Administrators can set scanner authentication parameters that will be used as the default when discovering new devices. These authentication settings can be set for the XML, SNMPv1, SNMPv3 and NUT protocols. When discovered, manually or automatically, newly discovered devices will use these authentication parameters. Depending on the device-supported protocols, IPM will choose the needed parameters.

Virtualization Figure 98. Eaton IPP Running on Citrix XenServer Multiple Hypervisor and Remote Solution For multiple Hypervisor hosts, it is possible to manage shutdown through IPM by using System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM). This solution is ideal for large infrastructures working through Xen Center. This solution is integrated into Eaton IPM and provides the following features: l Xen server remote maintenance to trigger VM Xen Motion l Xen server remote shutdown Figure 99.
Virtualization Figure 100. Eaton IPM Connected To XenServer to protect the XenServers Prerequisites The virtualization module requires following prerequisites: l XenCenter must be installed to manage the XenServers. l To provide the VM graceful shutdown, you must install Xen tools on each VM. Adding a Citrix XenServer Hypervisor List To add a new Citrix XenServer List: 1. From the Add a Connector dialog, select Citrix XenServer from the Virtualization drop-down list.
Virtualization Adding a XenCenter Because Citrix XenCenter is a Client and not a Manager, you can install a plug-in on the system where XenCenter is installed (see Figure 102).

Virtualization 2. In the Shutdown Settings panel on the right side of the page, select the applicable checkboxes to configure the required parameters (see Figure 105 and Table 10). NOTE The shutdown settings that display vary depending on the node you select. In this example, the node contains both remote maintenance mode feature parameters and Eaton IPP shutdown parameters because the Eaton IPP performs the shutdown locally. Figure 107. Shutdown Settings for VM Host with Table 11.
Virtualization ! IMPORTANT If you install an Eaton IPP on the VM Host after the Eaton IPM node has been created, first delete the node in Eaton IPM. Then, rediscover the node with the “Address Scan” in the Auto Discovery panel. The Eaton IPM creates the right node type and retrieves both the VM Host information and the Eaton IPP information. 96 Eaton Intelligent Power Manager (IPM) User’s Guide v1.
Chapter 8 Redundancy This chapter describes the Eaton Intelligent Power Manager (IPM) redundancy features. The Eaton IPM can supervise composite devices. Composite devices are virtual nodes composed of two or more UPSs mounted with specific redundancy topologies and a dedicated redundancy level. NOTE Specific redundance topologies include Redundant supplies, Hot standby, Static transfer switch (STS) for two components, and Parallel for two or more components.
Redundancy l Hot standby mode: When the upstream UPS powers the load, the downstream UPS is on bypass. Figure 110. Hot Standby l Static transfer switch for two components: For STS mode, there are several cases with single STS or multiple STSs. Figure 111. Static Transfer Switch l Parallel for two or more components: All the UPSs power the load at the same time. Figure 112. Parallel Redundancy Schema Configuring Redundancy To configure redundancy: 98 1.
Redundancy Figure 113. Selecting Set Composite Device for Nodes 5. In the dialog box, specify a device name, redundancy mode, and level (see Figure 114): l Device Name: Name of the composite device l Redundancy Mode: Parallel, Redundant Supplies, Hot Standby or Static Transfer Switch l Redundancy Level: Minimal number of redundant UPSs powering your system; default value is 0. NOTE If you set this parameter to a higher level, you will receive the “Redundancy Lost” alarm. Figure 114.
Redundancy NOTE No new composite device is created by this action, so no composite device duplication is possible.
Redundancy Composite Device in Power Source View When redundancy and shutdown modules are activated, a composite device can be selected as power source. From the Views > Power Source menu selection, the Power Source page displays. Four panels display with specific data for the device, including Information, Status, Events, and Power Components (see Figure 116). Figure 116.
Redundancy Redundancy Use Cases This section describes several typical use cases to help you properly configure the redundant shutdown sequence according to your needs. Use Case #1 You want to have the longest backup time with the redundant configuration. To do so, use the default IPM configuration. l l l The IPM default configuration is available from Settings > Shutdown > Edit Shutdown Configuration (see Figure 118).
Redundancy Figure 120. UPS Shutdown and Restart Settings Use Case #2 You want to have a shutdown after a predefined time of 10 min. The shutdown must occur, even if only one UPS is on battery. l l The IPM default configuration is available from Settings > Shutdown > Edit Shutdown Configuration (see Figure 121). In this case, each server can have its own shutdown timer (10 min, 8 min, 6 min…).
Redundancy Figure 122. Network Management Card Shutdown Parameters Figure 123. UPS Shutdown and Restart Settings Use Case #4 You want to have a shutdown when 10 min remain for the last UPS. In this case, each server can have an individual shutdown duration, such as 10 min, 8 min, 3 min, and so forth. l l The IPM default configuration is available from Settings > Shutdown > Edit Shutdown Configuration (see Figure 124). You must configure a shutdown duration of 10 min in the Eaton IPM.
Redundancy Figure 124. Edit Shutdown Configuration Dialog Box l You must use the default Network Card Configuration. See “Use Case #1” on page 102 for more details. Redundancy Advanced Behavior Example For the following example uses a configuration with four UPSs. Each UPS is 20 kW. For this parallel topology, the load can vary between 0 and 80 kW. Figure 125.
Redundancy Protection Alarm Management with Four Modules According to the Load and the Number of failed UPSs settings, the following details are provided: l P is the number of UPSs protecting the load l R is the number of redundant UPSs l Status of Protection Lost Alarm Table 13 provides protection alarm management details.

Extended Functionality Using Eaton IPM through XenCenter After the plug-in is installed, you can see a tab named Eaton Intelligent Power Manager on the XenCenter level (see Figure 144). Figure 144. XenCenter Eaton IPM Tab Configuring Maintenance Mode and vMotion with vCenter Prerequisites All VM images must be installed and configured on a file server. NOTE For more information, see “VMware References” on page 133.
Extended Functionality The Distributed Power Manager (DPM) application helps to maximize data center electrical power efficiency. It checks DRS for physical server utilization and then, using vMotion, moves VMs to servers in order to fully unload servers, idle them, or power them down for maximum power savings. Eaton uses the same vMotion capability when a UPS is in a critical power situation to move VMs off of a server that has a critical power situation.
Extended Functionality Figure 145. HA Mode with Eaton IPM Eaton IPM continues to protect the hypervisor also when power fails. Due to the deactivation of the automatic startup and shutdown, at the end of utility failure sequence, all VMs power-off. There are two solutions to prevent this VM from powering off: l l Configure the VMware ESX/ESXi nodes in Eaton IPM to shut down the VMs (remote shutdown of the VM setting). Install a Eaton IPM on each VM, even if it is not an optimized solution.
Extended Functionality Configuring Maintenance Mode and Live Migration with SCVMM Maintenance Mode In Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 2008 R2, you can start maintenance mode for a VM host anytime that you need to perform maintenance tasks on the physical host computer, such as applying security updates or replacing hardware.
