Users Guide

The Dell OpenManage Power Center installation includes the following major software tools:

• Sun Microsystems Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 7 Update 25

• Apache Tomcat application server 7.0.52

• PostgreSQL 9.3.5

Hardware and software requirements for devices

• Managed servers must have an Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) 6, 7, or 8. For

iDRAC6, the latest version is recommended. For iDRAC7, the recommended version is 1.66.65 or later.

For iDRAC8, the recommended version is 2.10.10.10 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.
