Dell is a world class supplier of hardware and software optimizing business continuity on your Microsoft virtual platforms worldwide. The system includes controlling proper boot and graceful shutdown of:

∙The virtual machines hosted on a same physical machine.

∙The main operating system hosting Microsoft Hyper-Vor Hyper-V Server.

Dell UPS Local Node Manager is Dell’s solution to automate various data security functions. It:

∙Continuously waits for information from the UPS Management Card (Dell PN H910P) connected to the Dell UPS.

∙Warns administrators and users if AC power fails

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

∙Restarts machines when AC power restarts.

Microsoft Hyper-V (or Hyper-V Server) controls the Virtual Machine’s shutdown and restart functions. Dell UPS Local Node Manager can be installed on the main operating system (hosting Hyper-V).

Dell UPS Local Node Manager will consolidate information from the UPS which is supplying the server. Advantages of installing our protection software on the main operating system (hosting Hyper-V) include:

∙Only one deployment of Dell ULNM on physical machine, to manage all virtual machines.

∙Silent deployment possibility.

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

This manual will guide you through the installation and configuration process of the Dell UPS Local Node Manager on Microsoft Hyper-V(or Hyper-V Server) platform.
