CHAPTER: Introduction

1. INTRODUCTION

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-V or 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.

Dell tested virtualization security in a redundant power supply configuration, for system shutdown,

electrical shutdown, and reboot.

2.2. MICROSOFT HYPER-V MANAGER / HYPER-V SERVER R1 & R2 CONFIGURATION

For the automatic OS boot on start-up, the user must configure the physical machine to allow

automatic OS boot on start-up. This is found in the machine’s BIOS.

For further information, see specific documentation of the physical hardware.

Note: It may be required to activate Virtualization Technology Enabled (in the machine’s BIOS) to run

Hyper-V, in CPU Information -> Virtualization Technology -> Enabled

To enable graceful virtual machines shutdown, it is necessary to install on each Virtual Machine the

additional program “Guest Component Service” included in the operating system and to configure it.

2.2.1. “GUEST COMPONENT SERVICE” INSTALLATION

Open the Hyper-V console and start your virtual machine.

Select the Action tab



insert the disk integration services.

Install the Service. To check that installation works fine, verify that the software is available

in the Control Panel of the virtual machine ("Add / Remove Programs").

2.2.2. SERVICES CONFIGURATION
