For a detailed overview of which UPS’s support each configuration, please view the “PowerChute Network Shutdown Operating Modes and supported UPS Configurations” Application Note here.
Redundant-UPS Configuration: Two or more UPS's of the same model protect each server. Each UPS can support the server load on its own. All UPS Network Management Cards communicate with each server that has PowerChute installed.
For detailed information, please view “Using PowerChute Network Shutdown in a Redundant-UPS Configuration” Application Note here.
Parallel-UPS Configuration: Two or more UPS's of the same model protect the load and provide redundancy or increased capacity depending on the load. The UPS outputs are tied together so a single output goes to the load. All UPS Network Management Cards communicate with each server that has PowerChute installed.
Note: To use the Parallel-UPS configuration, your UPS devices must already be configured to operate in parallel mode.
For detailed information, please view “Using PowerChute Network Shutdown in a Parallel-UPS Configuration” Application Note here.
For detailed information, please view the “Using PowerChute Network Shutdown in an Advanced Redundant Setup” Application Note here.
Standalone VMware hosts and hosts managed by vCenter Server are supported for Advanced UPS Configuration.
* Virtualization Manager Server is vCenter Server
A single PowerChute Agent can manage all the UPS’s in the cluster. Each UPS protects one or more VMware Hosts.

In an advanced UPS configuration, there must be one UPS setup protecting the HPE SimpliVity Cluster, and one UPS setup protecting the external physical Windows machine with HPE SimpliVity Arbiter and PowerChute. vCenter Server may be deployed as a VM on the HPE SimpliVity Cluster or on the same physical machine as the Arbiter service and PowerChute. Hosts in the HPE SimpliVity Cluster must be mapped to the same UPS group. |
