Chapter 1

Overview

Compaq Power Management (CPM) software works with Compaq Insight

Manager

to ensure maximum power reliability of Compaq computer

systems through flexible, comprehensive control of all Compaq

Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS) in network environments.

Compaq Power Management software runs within Compaq Insight Manager,

giving system administrators the ability to monitor, manage, and control the

power environments of all network computers.

Use Compaq Power Management software to:

■ Manage independent UPS load segments to provide separate power

control of connected equipment.

■ Prioritize the timing of equipment shutdowns and reboot connected

equipment by load segment.

■ Shut down and start up any Compaq UPS and attached equipment,

manually or based on a user-specified schedule.

■ Access the Compaq Insight Manager customized alert generation

feature.

■ Monitor Compaq UPS units and perform UPS diagnostics.

How Compaq Power Management

Software Works

Compaq Power Management software consists of two parts:

■ The Console, which is a Compaq Insight Manager add-on that displays

information and allows changes to system settings by communicating

with Agents. The Console is used to configure communications port

setup, alert handling, shutdown timing, restart delays, and regularly

scheduled shutdowns. The Console runs on the management station for

the network.

■ The UPS Management Agent, which is installed on every managed

server or workstation connected to a Compaq UPS. UPS Management

Agents send data to the power management software Console using the

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Part Number: 306157-005 File Name: b-ch1 Overview.doc Last Saved On: 6/20/01 12:33 AM

Compaq Power Management software constantly observes the power

environment of each Compaq UPS. Should a utility power failure or other

significant power problem occur, the Compaq UPS places the connected

systems on battery power and CPM software issues an alert to the system

administrator’s personal computer (PC) using SNMP. As the power event

continues, CPM software begins a prioritized system shutdown (based on user

settings or default settings), saving work-in-progress throughout the network,

and preserving files that have not yet been saved to a permanent storage

medium. Compaq Power Management software responds to the alert as

programmed by the user.

Working in conjunction with CPM software, the Compaq UPS can be

configured to extend runtimes for critical devices. The receptacles on the rear

panel of the Compaq UPS are divided into two or more groups, called load

segments. (Tower 700 Series UPS models have only one load segment.) Each

load segment can be controlled independently. By shutting down one load

segment, connected to less critical equipment, the runtime for more critical

equipment is extended, thereby providing additional protection.

CPM software also facilitates a prioritized startup for connected equipment. In

addition, the power-scheduling feature allows for scheduled on and off times,

which promotes energy and power conservation.

By communicating with your UPS, the Compaq Power Management software

Agent monitors the status of input utility power, output load, and the condition

of the hardware. If external power is lost (or insufficient to support the UPS

battery charge for an extended time), the Agent begins an orderly shutdown of

your system based on pre-specified criteria. The Agent saves work-in-progress

and logs all significant power and battery events.

CD Contents

The Compaq Power Management software CD should contain the following

programs:

■ Compaq Power Management software  a Compaq Insight Manager

add-on that provides intelligent manageability of your Compaq UPS

units

■ LanSafe III software  a UPS management program for networked

environments that are not running Compaq Insight Manager

■ Compaq UPS Load Segment Configurator Utility  allows the mapping

of multiple load segments to an individual server

Compaq UPS Load Segment Configurator

To allow two or more servers to control the load segments on the UPS, use the

Compaq UPS Load Segment Configurator utility software. The Compaq UPS

Load Segment Configurator allows the user to map load segments to

individual servers, when connected to one of the following:

■ A Compaq Multi-Server UPS Card for option slot UPS models.

■ The Compaq Six Port Card for Compaq UPS XR models.

The UPS Load Segment Configurator runs in the Windows 95, Windows 98,

NT 4.0, or windows 2000 environments.

IMPORTANT: The UPS Load Segment Configurator must be loaded and run before

installing Compaq Power Management software on any of the servers.

For more information on the Multi-Server UPS Card for option slot UPS

models and the Six Port Card for UPS XR models, see Appendix B, “Compaq

UPS Options.”

Installing the Console on the System

Administrator’s Workstation

IMPORTANT: Before installing the Console, you must have Compaq Insight Manager

installed and operational on your management workstation.

The Console can only be installed on machines running Windows 95,

Windows 98, NT 4.0, or Windows 2000.

There are two ways to install the Console into Compaq Insight Manager

(CIM):

■ Compaq Power Management software CD (supplied with the Compaq

UPS kit).

■ Compaq Management CD (supplied with the Compaq server).

UPS Groups

If multiple systems are receiving power through the same UPS, but only one

computer is able to exchange information with the UPS through the

communications cable, it is still possible to control power to all connected

systems with the implementation of a UPS group.

In a UPS Group, one of the attached computers (the Controller) can monitor

the UPS and relay information and commands to the other attached computers

(Members) over the network.

To create a UPS group:

1. During the UPS Management Agent installation, click Yes, then click

Continue.
