0119_2-Dell MUMC UG.book Page 97 Saturday, November 2, 2013 4:59 PM Second Type of Nodes (DELL MUMC Detects Dell ULNM Running on the VMHost) If there is a Dell ULNM installed on the server that is hosting the Hypervisor (VMHost), the shutdown is done by the Dell ULNM. In this case, the node contains both parameter types: • The remote maintenance mode feature parameters. • The Dell ULNM shutdown parameters (as a Dell ULNM will perform the shutdown locally).

0119_2-Dell MUMC UG.book Page 99 Saturday, November 2, 2013 4:59 PM 8 Redundancy This chapter describes the Dell Multi-UPS Management Console (MUMC) redundancy features. The Dell MUMC can supervise composite devices. Composite devices are virtual nodes composed of 2 or more UPSs in redundant configuration (Redundant Supplies). This Redundancy feature is enabled from Settings > System > Modules Settings (see Figure 80).
PAGE 99
0119_2-Dell MUMC UG.book Page 100 Saturday, November 2, 2013 4:59 PM Redundancy Configuration To configure redundancy: 1 Login with an administrator user profile. 2 Select two or more nodes. 3 Click Set composite device (see Figure 82). Figure 82. Selecting Set Composite Device for Nodes 4 In the dialog box, specify a device name, redundancy mode, and level (see Figure 83): • Device Name: User name of the composite device • Redundancy Level: The minimal number of redundant UPSs powering your system.
PAGE 100
0119_2-Dell MUMC UG.book Page 101 Saturday, November 2, 2013 4:59 PM Then, the new node is created: • You can see it in the “Autodiscovery” 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.
PAGE 101
0119_2-Dell MUMC UG.book Page 102 Saturday, November 2, 2013 4:59 PM Composite Device in Power Source View When a redundancy and shutdown module is 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 specific data (see Figure 85). Figure 85.

Power Components Sub-view 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. • Figure 87 illustrates the Dell MUMC default configuration available from Settings > Shutdown > Edit Shutdown Configuration.
PAGE 103
0119_2-Dell MUMC UG.book Page 104 Saturday, November 2, 2013 4:59 PM Figure 88. Dell Network Management Card Web Interface 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. • In this case, each server can have its own shutdown timer (10 min, 8 min, 6 min…). To set a predefined time of 10 min, configure the shutdown timer for 10 min in the Edit Shutdown Configuration dialog box.
PAGE 104
0119_2-Dell MUMC UG.book Page 105 Saturday, November 2, 2013 4:59 PM Figure 89. Edit Shutdown Configuration Dialog Box Use Case #3 You want to start shutdown 10 min from the last detected Utility failure event. For this case, there are two UPSs, and one UPS is redundant. In addition, all servers will be shut down at the same time. • This is the default Dell MUMC configuration.To configure this shutdown, you must set a shutdown timer of 10 min in all the Dell Network Management Cards.
PAGE 105
0119_2-Dell MUMC UG.book Page 106 Saturday, November 2, 2013 4:59 PM Figure 90. Dell Network Management Card Shutdown Parameters Use Case #4 You want to have a shutdown when the remaining time of the last UPS is 10 min. In this case, each server can have an individual shutdown duration (10 min, 8 min, 3 min…). • You need to configure a shutdown duration of 10 min in the Dell MUMC.
