Protection: shutting down servers

To ensure the integrity of the system and the data, a computer

operating system must be shut down in the correct sequence.

Dedicated shutdown software must be installed on the servers

to execute various functions before the power supply is cut off.

These functions include:

• executing a script to close applications running on the server;

• initiating a shutdown sequence or hibernation after a preset

timeout or just before total battery discharge;

• rebooting the operating system automatically or manually

when the mains power is restored;

• showing UPS alerts to the user.

The Intelligent Power Protector software supports network, serial

and USB communication to Eaton UPS.

Multiple IPP installations can be monitored and mass configured

with the help of Intelligent Power Manager software. These two

software packages work seamlessly together reducing the cost of

ownership and improving the reliability of the power management

system.

Intelligent Power Software has comprehensive support for

virtualization. IPP can shut down VMware and Hyper-V hosts

together with their guest operating systems while IPM integrates

with VMware vCenter management system.

Additional functions

Individual outlet socket control

Many systems from Eaton have individual output receptacles for

turning groups of devices on and off. This feature is particularly

useful for:

• shedding non-critical systems when there is a power cut;

• defining start-up sequences;

• individual management of several IT systems connected to a

central UPS.

Remote on/off control

As an entire UPS or some of its outlets can be turned on and off

remotely, it becomes a smart IT equipment switch. This function

makes it possible, for example, to restart a locked-up hardware

device from a remote site. Outlet control can be automatic or

manually controlled locally or remotely.

Energy saving function

This function can be used to program shutdown and restart

sequences for all UPS-protected devices. For example,

workstations, printers, network devices and selected servers can

be shut down and powered off outside of business hours.
