FAQs ― Frequently asked questions about HP UPS Management Module
Newsletter staff recently received questions from the field regarding a previous newsletter article on HP UPS Management
Module (HPMM) (refer to ISS Technology Update Volume 6, Number 8). Since other customers may be experiencing the same
issues, this brief article will present those questions. HP technical staff has provided the answers.
FAQs
Question #1________________________________________________________________________________
Q. Is there a version of the HP UPS Management Agent available for customers running operating system ESX 3.0.x that will
provide an automatic shutdown solution when the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) runs out of power? We found
compatibility information online for VMware 2.5.x, but not specifically for 3.0.x.
A. Technically, the current HPMM Power Protection Agent should work with VMware 2.5.x or ESX 3.0.x. The only difference is
that for ESX 3.0.x there is a shutdown option. If this option is not set correctly, when the server is rebooted, the user will
receive an error message at the login screen because the server was not shut down gracefully.
Question #2________________________________________________________________________________
Q. From where can the agent be downloaded, either internally or externally? We can find Windows, HP-UX, and Linux
versions online externally, but none for ESX (even version 2.5.4).
A. VMware is based on Linux; the Linux agent is available for download at

  • Page 2 ISS Technology Update Volume 7, Number 8 Count on the number of CPU cores increasing What’s driving the increase in core counts? Historically, the hunger for higher performance has driven major processor innovations. With traditional single-core CPUs, improved performance is possible by increasing the clock frequency and increasing the number of transistors. But increasing the clock frequency leads to greater power consumption and heat generation.

SM CLP is one of the communication, or access, protocols that can be used with the Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH Some customers want to use scripts to perform basic target operations on ProLiant servers (for instance, powering on or powering off the server, or obtaining event logs).
