Frequently Asked Questions

What components make up Dell UPS Management Software?

The document describes the software, but does not explicitly list its physical or digital component parts.

How do I configure Remote Maintenance in the software settings?

Choose “Enabled” to set the host(s) to “Maintenance Mode” when a power outage occurs. If vMotion is enabled, VMs will automatically move from this host.

What is the purpose of the 'Master - Shutdown After' setting?

It sets the time (in seconds) following a power failure that the shutdown command should be sent to the host.

Can I control different hardware startup sequences?

Yes, you can use the Load Segment variable if you are using Load Segments to preferentially control behavior for servers and storage.
