Hardware and Software Requirements for Devices

• Managed servers must have an Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) 6 or 7. For iDRAC 6, the latest

version is recommended. For iDRAC 7, the recommended version is 1.23.23.

• Power Distribution Unit (PDU) and Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) devices must comply with the

Management Information Base (MIB) provided by the vendor through SNMP interface.

• Devices must provide exclusive access for Power Center. This is because the policies set on the devices from

other management software will impact the Power Center power control function.

• The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) user, through which Power Center communicates with devices,

must be a local user with the Administrator role. The device must be configured to allow the Administrator to

use at least one of the cipher suite levels 0-3, and enable the IPMI over LAN setting.

• The WS-MAN user, through which Power Center communicates with the chassis, must be a local user with the

Administrator role. The chassis must be configured to enable the Web Server service.

• Chassis Management Controller (CMC) that supports all devices installed in your managed network
