Configuration

This section explains configuration for the Dell UPS Management Software and for the VMware server.

VMware Server Configuration

All hardware elements must have an operational network configuration that allows them to
communicate freely with each other. Dell UPS Management Software uses TCP and UDP for
communication with UPS.
To configure the VMware Server:
1 Confirm that the following UDP ports are opened on the ESX server firewall. Check the ports
according to the following table:
Communication Mode
USB/RS-232
Network Management Card
Example commands:
esxcfg-firewall -o 2198,udp,in,UPSMS
esxcfg-firewall -o 2198,udp,out,UPSMS
2 Confirm that the TCP 2099 port is opened on the ESX server Firewall.
Example commands:
esxcfg-firewall -o 2099,tcp,in,UPSMS
esxcfg-firewall -o 2099,tcp,out,UPSMS
3 If you want to disable the firewall permanently, enter the command:
chkconfig iptables stop
4 To disable the firewall temporarily, enter the command:
service iptables stop
