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 or later.

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

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

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

management software affect the Power Center power control function.

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

must be a local user account whose roles include Administrator. 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 WSman 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.
