Virtualization 94
For individual host installation (no vCenter or SCVMM) in Dell MUMC:
• After you have “Added a new list of Hypervisor,” Dell MUMC creates new nodes and waits for the
credential.
• You can now continue to the “Credential Configuration for the Hypervisors (ESX/ESXi, XenServer)”
section.
Credential Configuration for the Hypervisors (ESX/ESXi, XenServer)
• You have to configure the node credential in the Node Configuration Panel (see Figure 75).
• After you have entered the correct information, Dell MUMC will retrieve Hypervisors information.
• You can now continue to “Configuring Maintenance and Shutdown” on page 94.

Configuring Maintenance and Shutdown
Introduction
After 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.
Configuration Options for vCenter and SCVMM Installations
Click each host in the Nodes Settings menu item and configure the required parameters:
• Remote Maintenance: Enabled or Disabled. When enabled, the MUMC client sets the host to
“Maintenance Mode.” Depending on your host/cluster configuration, this can trigger vMotion/live
migration to another host. This event is triggered at the time set in the “Maintenance Timer”
parameter.
•
Maintenance Timer: Time elapsed “on battery state” before the Dell MUMC script changes the state
of the host to maintenance mode
•
Remote Shutdown: Enabled or Disabled (When enabled, it allows Dell MUMC to gracefully
shutdown this server in case of “UPS on battery state” and Shutdown criteria reached)
