7 Virtualization Module
7.1 Introduction
The IPM Virtualization Module for VMware, Microsoft and Citrix requires a network shutdown environment.
The UPS has to be connected through a network interface (e.g. NMC) and the protection software (IPP) has
to be configured in order to communicate with this network interface. Each peer-to-peer interface (i.e.
USB/RS232) between IPP and the UPS doesn’t allow using this virtualization module.
The IPM Virtualization Module will retrieve information from the Hypervisor (e.g. ESX, ESXi, XenServer, …)
or Manager (vSphere, SCVMM, …).
IPM will execute advanced features on UPS Power Events:
• Trigger the move of the Virtual Machines to other servers (Put the VM host in maintenance mode).
=> The data center will benefit with this zero down-time feature.
• Trigger Shutdown of the VM Host with VCenter (With SCVMM this feature is done by IPP).
=> The data center will benefit from servers graceful shutdown.

7.9 Configuring Hypervisors (ESX/ESXi Server, XenServer)
7.9.1
Introduction
If you previously “Added a Manager” in IPM:
• Once you have entered the correct information for the manager, IPM connects to the manager
(vCenter or SCVMM).
• IPM automatically retrieves the VMHost information and creates new nodes in IPM for each VMhost
• IPM automatically creates two different types of nodes that will be described after (you can see the
new node in the Node List)
• You can now proceed to the Maintenance and Shutdown configuration step
If you previously “Added an Hypervisor List” in IPM:
•
Once you have “Added a new list of Hypervisor”, IPM creates new nodes and waits for the
credential.

www.eaton.com
•
•
7.9.2
We explain on the next chapter how to configure the credentials for hypervisors (ESX/ESXi,
XenServer)
IPM creates two different types of nodes that will be described after (you can see the new node in
the Node List)
Credential configuration for the Hypervisors (ESX/ESXi, XenServer)
•
You have to configure the node credential in the Node Configuration Panel.
•
•
Once you have entered the correct information, IPM will retrieve Hypervisors information.
You can now proceed to the Maintenance and Shutdown configuration step
7.10 Configuring Maintenance and Shutdown
7.10.1 Introduction
•
Once you have entered the correct credential information for your Managers and Hypervisors, you
have to configure the Maintenance and Shutdown sequences according to the availability needs of
your IT infrastructure when power fails. There are two types of VMHost nodes as explained in
following sections.
7.10.2 The VMhost has No IPP
There is no IPP installed on the server that is hosting the Hypervisor (VMHost). In such case the Shutdown
is remotely done by IPM. Only with VMware hypervisors and Citrix XenServer, this shutdown
configuration is used.
In this case, the node has both the functionalities of remote maintenance mode and remote shutdown .
You can configure the node and add a Power Source in the Node Configuration Panel shown below.

8 Redundancy
8.1 Introduction
®
Intelligent Power Manager can supervise composite devices. Composite devices are virtual nodes
composed of UPSs mounted with specific redundancy topologies (Redundant Supplies, Hot Standby or
Static Transfer Switch for two components and Parallel for two or more components) and a dedicated
redundancy level.
This Redundancy feature has to be Enabled from the Settings -> System -> Modules Settings
Intelligent Power Manager will then:
• Supervise composite devices (if Redundancy feature is activated)
• Shutdown IPM computer when powered by several UPSs (if shutdown feature is also activated).
Here are illustrated the electrical redundancy topologies:
• Redundant Supplies (dual feed or triple feed or …)
•
UPS 1
Server 1
UPS 2
Server 2
In this case the two UPSs provide power on one or several
multiple feed servers.
Hot Standby
For "Hot Standby" mode, when the upstream UPS powers
the load, the downstream UPS is on bypass.
UPS 2
UPS 1
Eaton Intelligent Power® Manager – User’s Guide – / AH-1.26
Page 64/94
www.eaton.com
•
Static Transfer Switch for two components
For "STS" mode there are several cases with single STS or
multiple STSs.
UPS 1
STS
UPS 2
•
UPS 1
STS 1
UPS 2
STS 2
Parallel for two or more components
UPS 1
All the UPSs power the load at the same time.
UPS 2
UPS 3
UPS 4
8.2 Redundancy configuration
•
•
Login with an administrator user profile
Select two or more nodes and click on the “Set composite device” menu item:
•
In the dialog box, enter redundancy mode and level, eventually specify a device name
Device name: User name of the composite device
Redundancy mode: Refer to the Introduction chapter to select the correct electrical topology
(Parallel / Redundant Supplies / Hot Standby / Static Transfer Switch)
Redundancy Level: It is the minimal number of redundant UPSs powering your system:
Eaton Intelligent Power® Manager – User’s Guide – / AH-1.26
Page 65/94
www.eaton.com
The default value is 0.
If you set this parameter to a higher level you will receive the Redundancy Lost alarm when you
don’t have enough redundant UPSs.
•
•
Then the new node is created.
You can see it in the “Auto discovery” node list:
You can select it as power source.
You can edit composite device properties by selecting it in the discovery view then click again on the “Set
composite device” menu item.
If you select components of a composite device and click on the “Set composite device” menu item again,
properties of existing composite device are shown; no new composite device is created so no composite
device duplication is possible.
The created “Virtual Power Source” is counted as a node for the licensing node limitation.
Eaton Intelligent Power® Manager – User’s Guide – / AH-1.26
Page 66/94
www.eaton.com
8.3 Redundancy views
8.3.1
Redundancy view in Node List
When a composite device is selected in the node list, the user can view it in the selection view, with following
information:
• Dedicated states in “Information” and “Status” panels.
• The “Events” panel shows events from the composite devices and all its child components.
• A dedicated “Power components” panel displays component states including load level and battery
run time.
8.3.2
Composite device in Power source view
When “Redundancy and shutdown” module are activated, a composite device can be selected as power
source. The user can show it in the “Power Source” view.
In this case, Information”, “Status”, “Events” and “Power components” panels are displayed with specifics
data.
Eaton Intelligent Power® Manager – User’s Guide – / AH-1.26
Page 67/94
www.eaton.com
8.3.3
Power components sub view
When “Redundancy and shutdown” module are activated, a new view called “Power components” is
available as a sub view of “Power source”. This view shows a list of nodes with their properties but just with
components of the selected power source if it is a composite device.
Eaton Intelligent Power® Manager – User’s Guide – / AH-1.26

www.eaton.com
8.4 Redundancy use case (if shutdown is activated)
We describe several typical use cases that will help you to configure properly the redundant shutdown
sequence according to your needs.
Use Case #1: The user wants to have the longest backup time with the redundant configuration
This is the default IPM configuration.
The next screenshot illustrates this IPM default configuration available from Settings -> Shutdown > Edit Shutdown Configuration.
This is the default configuration on NMC
e.g. with Network-MS (ex 66102 / 103006826) and Modbus-MS (ex 66103), NMC default shutdown
configuration is available from UPS-> Shutdown Configuration as illustrated on next screenshot:
Eaton Intelligent Power® Manager – User’s Guide – / AH-1.26
Page 69/94
www.eaton.com
e.g. with ConnectUPS-X Slot or ConnectUPS-BD, NMC default shutdown configuration is available
from Configuration-> UPS Shutdown and Restart Settings as illustrated on next screenshot:
Use Case #2: The user wants to have a shutdown after a predefined time of 10 mins. The shutdown has to
occur even if only one UPS is on battery.
=> In this case, each server can have its own shutdown timer (10 mins, 8 mins, 6 mins…)
The user has to configure a shutdown timer of 10 mins in IPM
The next screenshot illustrates this IPM default configuration available from Settings -> Shutdown > Edit Shutdown Configuration.
this is the default configuration on NMC (refer to previous use case)
Use Case #3: The user wants to have a shutdown starting 10 mins from the last detected Utility failure
event. (We have 2 UPSs, one of them is redundant)
=> In this case, all servers shutdown at the same time.
This is the default IPM configuration
The user has to configure a shutdown timer of 10 mins in all the NMCs
In this case, the last UPS will send the shutdown order after 10 min. if it runs on battery. If the last
UPS never run on battery, the first UPS will simply shutdown at the end of autonomy and the last
UPS will take the load.(if it has the capacity, otherwise the shutdown will occur sooner)
NMC Shutdown configuration is available from UPS-> Shutdown Configuration as illustrated on
next screenshot:
Eaton Intelligent Power® Manager – User’s Guide – / AH-1.26
Page 70/94
www.eaton.com
Eaton Intelligent Power® Manager – User’s Guide – / AH-1.26
Page 71/94
www.eaton.com
Use Case #4: The user wants to have a shutdown when the remaining time of the last UPS is 10 minutes
=> In this case, each server can have its own shutdown duration (10 mins, 8 mins, 3 mins…)
The user has to configure a shutdown duration of 10 mins in IPM
The next screenshot illustrates this IPM default configuration available from Settings -> Shutdown > Edit Shutdown Configuration.
This is the default configuration on NMC (refer to previous use case)

11 Glossary
IP address
When TCP/IP is installed on a computer, an address is assigned to the system. Each address is unique and
is made up of four numbers, each between 0 and 256 (e.g. 168.8.156.210).
Network Management Proxy
Network Management Proxy is used to control a UPS and connect it to the TCP/IP network.
NMS (Network Management System)
The NMS supervises SNMP devices connected to the TCP-IP Network.
Network Shutdown Module
The Network Shutdown Module is a software module that uses the information transmitted by the Network
Management Card/Proxy to inform computer users on the current status of the electrical power supplied to
the computer.
If the supply of the electrical power from the UPS is at risk, the Network Shutdown Module initiates an
orderly shutdown of the computer under the most secure conditions possible.
SSL (Secure Socket Layer, created by Netscape):
A solution for securing transactions over the internet. SSL is a communication protocol that authenticates the
data exchanged, as well as ensuring its confidentiality and integrity. The protocol uses a recognized
encryption method, the RSA algorithm with a public key (where RSA means Rivest, Shamir and Adleman,
the inventors). An RSA key is the result of operations involving prime numbers. SSL is built into the Internet
browsers on the market. The padlock in the bottom of your browser screen is automatically displayed if the
server sending information uses SSL.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol):
Family of protocols for the transport and network layers.

13 Appendix 1: Configuring the IPM vCenter Plug-in
13.1 Introduction
VMware’s vCenter Server platform forms the foundation for virtualization management. It provides
management of hosts and Virtual machines from a single console. To further unlock the power of
VMware’s management system, VMware has provided a facility to extend the functionality of VMware
vCenter.
Various useful applications can be attached to vCenter to make it more useful. Eaton vCenter Plug-in
also called “vCenter Intelligent Power Manager Plug-in” is a very easy to use and deploy Plug-in to
manage IPM from vCenter. This plug-in provides the possibility to integrate Intelligent Power Manager
(IPM) with vCenter environment. Once the plug-in is registered, a tab in vCenter will open IPM and
allow users to configure and manage IPM from vCenter environment.
The VMware plug-in allow also the creation of new type of events that can be trig type of alarms.
13.2 Checking that IPM Plug-in is registered in vCenter
In the vSphere Client, click on Plug-ins -> Manage Plug-in …
Intelligent Power Plug-in vCenter can be seen in the Plug-in Manager
Eaton Intelligent Power® Manager – User’s Guide – / AH-1.26
Page 84/94
www.eaton.com
13.1 Events and Alarms
Once the “vCenter Intelligent Power Manager Plug-in” is registered, IPM creates a new alarm “Host UPS
PowerFailure (On Battery)” that is triggered from power event.
13.2 Using IPM through vCenter
The “Eaton Power Manager” tab will now be visible in the vCenter Server Console and in the root folder
.
IPM is now available and is fully functional with the vSphere Client. To learn more about the features and
usage of IPM, please consult the IPM User Manual. The IPM screen is shown below, note the “Eaton Power
Manager” tab on the top is selected.

14 Appendix 2: Configuring the XenCenter Plug-in
14.1 Prerequisites
The only prerequisite is to have IPM installed on the same machine as XenCenter.
14.1 Check XenCenter Plug-in Installation
In the virtualization panel, you have to check the box “XenCenter Plugin” to install XenCenter Plug-in.
You will see the Plugin in XenCenter => Tools => Plugins. (see below)
If not, please Scan the Plug-in directory.

15 Appendix 3: Configuring Maintenance mode and vMotion with
vCenter
15.1 Prerequisites
All Virtual Machine images have to be installed and configured on a file server. (Please refer to VMware user
documentation listed in Appendix VMware references)
15.2 Introduction
The Dynamic Resource Scheduler (DRS) application from VMware is used to provide load balancing within
the IT network. In particular, DRS is used to ensure the right resource capacity is available for the data
center load. A second application called vMotion in conjunction with DRS will enact movement of Virtual
machines from physical server to physical server in order to provide the best load balance.
The DPM application (Distributed Power Manager) will help maximize data center electrical power efficiency
by checking DRS for physical server utilization then using vMotion, will move Virtual machines to servers in
order to fully unload servers than 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 virtual machines
off of a server that has a critical power situation. Intelligent Power Manager will now write alarms/alerts into
vCenter, which, in turn, will trigger vMotion.
VMware uses the term ‘setting a server into Maintenance mode’ to trigger the vMotion. It is called this
because before performing maintenance on server, the data center manager needs to clear the Virtual
Machines from the server.
15.3 Concept of Maintenance Mode
Both standalone hosts, and hosts within a cluster, support the maintenance mode. Only ESX/ESXi Server
3.0 and later supports maintenance mode for standalone hosts.
A host enters or leaves maintenance mode only as the result of a user request. If the host is in a cluster
when it enters maintenance mode, the user is given the option to evacuate powered-off virtual machines. If
this option is selected, each powered-off virtual machine is migrated to another host, unless there is no
compatible host available for the virtual machine in the cluster. While in maintenance mode, the host does
not allow deployment or ‘power-on’ of a virtual machine. Virtual machines that are running on a host entering
maintenance mode need to be either migrated to another host or shut down (either manually or automatically
by DRS).
When no more running virtual machines are on the host, the host’s icon changes to include ‘under
maintenance’ designation and the host’s Summary panel indicates the new state. The default automation
mode of a virtual machine determines its behavior when the host (in a DRS cluster) it is running on enters
maintenance mode:
•
•
Any fully automated virtual machine is migrated automatically.
For a partially automated or manual virtual machine, a recommendation for further user action is
generated and displayed.

15.4 Configuring maintenance mode behavior in vCenter
To configure the maintenance mode feature behavior, we provide here a simple configuration example:
Enable the DRS in “Fully Automated” automation level with following steps:
• Open the vCenter server in a vSphere client.
• Right click on your Cluster > Edit Setting > Turn on VMware DRS. Click on next with all default
values and finish.
Notes:
• With this example you choose to migrate all the virtual machines from this server to another
server of the same cluster.
• You have the possibility to define other behaviors according to your needs
15.5 Configuration Test
To test the installation, please perform a power failure on the UPS and check on vSphere client that the
corresponding ESX/ESXi host enters in Maintenance mode after the “Maintenance mode timer”.

16 Appendix 4: VMware vCenter HA (High Availability)
Once the HA Cluster feature is enabled, VMware disables the automatic startup and shutdown functionality
when a Hypervisor is shutdown.
IPM features for HA mode:
•
IPM will continue to move the VM from one server to the others, if the all the servers are powered by
different UPSs with different power source. (as illustrated on below picture)
•
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 the virtual machine will “Power Off”.
=> To prevent this VM “Power off”, you have two solutions:
1) Configure the VMware ESX/ESXi nodes in IPM to shutdown the VMs (Remote
Shutdown of the Virtual Machines Setting) (Recommended solution)
2) Install an IPP on each VM (This is not an optimized solution).
You have to take care that when VMs move, the IPP still links to the same UPS
power source.

17 Appendix 5: Configuring Maintenance mode and LiveMigration with
SCVMM
17.1 Maintenance Mode
In Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 2008 R2, you can start maintenance mode for a virtual machine host
anytime that you need to perform maintenance tasks on the physical host, such as applying security updates
or replacing hardware on the physical host computer.
When you start maintenance mode on a Windows-based host, VMM automatically does the following:
•
On a stand-alone host, places all running virtual machines into a saved state.
•
On a Windows-based host cluster that is capable of live migration, gives you the option to do one of
the following:
o
Live migrate all running highly available virtual machines to other hosts in the cluster, and
place any running virtual machines that are not highly available in a saved state.
o
Place all running virtual machines into a saved state.
(Please refer to Microsoft user documentation listed in Appendix Microsoft references)
17.2 What is Live Migration
Live migration is a Hyper-V feature in Windows Server 2008 R2, which requires the failover clustering
feature to be added and configured on the servers running Hyper-V. Live migration allows you to
transparently move running virtual machines from one node of the failover cluster to another node in the
same cluster without a dropped network connection or perceived downtime. In addition, failover clustering
requires shared storage for the cluster nodes. This can include an iSCSI or Fiber-Channel Storage Area
Network (SAN). All virtual machines are stored in the shared storage area, and the running virtual machine
state is managed by one of the nodes. (Please refer to Microsoft user documentation listed in Appendix
Microsoft references)
17.3 Configuration Test
To test the installation, please perform a power failure on the UPS and check on SCVMM console that the
corresponding Hyper-V host enters in Maintenance mode after the “Maintenance mode timer”.
Hyper-V machines have to be started before the machine that is hosting the SCVMM.
SCVMM service needs some time to refresh its status. If the starting sequence is not correct, the Hyper-V
will stay in Maintenance mode

Описание компании EATON, их источников бесперебойного питания и ПО
Компания EATON oснована в 1911 г. Дж. O. Итоном (J.O. Eaton), является мировым технологическим лидером в области производства электротехнической продукции, систем и услуг для обеспечения качества, распределения и управления электропитанием, передачи электроэнергии; осветительных приборов и коммутационных устройств; Проще говоря, не одним APC защищен ваш сервер. При равных технических и качественных характеристиках, цена оборудования EATON заметно ниже, что особо актуально для Российских компаний (с ограниченным ИТ-бюджетом).
Перейдем ближе к делу — настройки мониторинга ИБП EATON с помощью ПО Intelligent Power Manager, которое предоставляется вместе с оборудованием. Для мониторинга ИБП количеством до 10 шт данная программа является бесплатной. Поддерживаются различные ОС MS Windows, Linux (серверные и десктопные ОС), также имеется поддержка виртуальных серверов — VMware ESXi. В с версии 1.43 в данное ПО интегрировано решение по аварийному восстановлению данных VMWare vCenter Site Recovery Manager (SRM). Поэтому программа моментально идентифицирует нарушения питания и другие события, автоматически синхронизирует виртуальные машины, а также запускает аварийное восстановление с помощью SRM и плановую миграцию. Данное оборудование и ПО отлично подходит для ЦОД, максимально увеличивая время бесперебойной работы IТ-систем и надежность защиты ответственных нагрузок.
В нашем конкретном случае установка Intelligent Power Manager на Windows Server 2008 R2 заняла не более 1 минуты, после чего по адресу http ://localhost:4679/default.html стала доступна консоль управления ИБП:
Данная консоль доступна в локальной сети предприятия по Web адресу хоста. Интерфейс просто, удобен и интуитивно понятен. В пункте «Действия» настраивается мониторинг оборудования и ИБП, доступно оповещение по почте и SMS.
Особенности ПО Intelligent Power Manager
- Есть возможность одновременного мониторинга нескольких ИБП Eaton в одном окне.
- В бесплатной версии, идущей с каждым ИБП можно осуществлять мониторинг до 10 устройств. В платной версии – неограниченное количество ИБП
- ПО поддерживает не только ИБП, но и другие устройства, такие как модули распределения электропитания ePDU, датчики параметров окружающей среды и другое оборудование инфраструктуры электропитания.
- Кроме ИБП Eaton, ПО позволяет производить мониторинг ИБП других производителей при помощи SNMP-протокола и сервиса XML Web.
- Упрощенная схема установки ПО: после запуска программы будут автоматически обнаружены совместимые устройства, и в течение нескольких секунд система будет готова к работе
- Основной интерфейс идет на русском языке
- ПО Intelligent Power Manager имеет настраиваемый пользовательский интерфейс, который позволяет просматривать все ключевые параметры работы одного или нескольких ИБП в одном окне. Пользователь может менять способ отображения в соответствии со своими потребностями, сортируя контролируемые устройства по различным параметрам: описание статуса, тип и место расположения устройства.
- Программное обеспечение также дает возможность сгруппировать устройства по критериям, например: IP-адрес, тип и владелец приложения. Пользователи имеют возможность централизовать функции управления аварийными предупреждениями: можно объединять несколько событий в одно сообщение, которое доставляется, например по электронной почте. Все события и действия сохраняются в системном журнале.
