Virtualized environment configuration HP recommends installing HPPP clients on the virtual layer of the virtualized host. Implement the following configurations: • Enable hardware support for virtualization on the host BIOS. For information about enabling virtualization, see the BIOS documentation. • To enable automatic booting of the virtual host, configure the physical machine for automatic OS booting upon startup. • Install PV Tools (XenTools) on each virtual machine. For instructions, see the XenServer installation guide. • For Xen with RHEL or Debian, install GPL Para virtualized (PV) drivers on each Windows virtual machine. • To install drivers for KVM with RHEL 6 or Debian 5, see the KVM virtualization host configuration and installation guide. UPS devices through RS232 (serial) connectivity are not supported on RHEL. Virtualized environment network configuration To configure the network: 1. Be sure that all hardware elements have an operational network configuration to communicate freely with each hardware element. Check firewalls and blockers. 2. Enable the following TCP/UDP ports on the firewall: a. For TCP port 4679 and 4680, enable remote access for supervision and configuration through a web browser. b. For TCP port 80 on the machine hosting HPPP, open a destination port for output. 3. Configure communication between HPPP and the HP Network Module: iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 4679 -j ACCEPT iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 4680 -j ACCEPT iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 4679 -j ACCEPT iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 4680 -j ACCEPT iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp --dport 4679 -j ACCEPT iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp --dport 4680 -j ACCEPT service iptables save iptables-save Installing HPPP on Citrix XenServer 6.0 Citrix XenServer is compatible with the following OS architecture and downloads. • HP Power Protector for Linux x86 o hppp-linux-x.xx.xxx-1.i386.rpm o hppp-linux-x_xx_xxx-i386 • HP Power Protector for Linux x64 o hppp-linux-x.xx.xxx-1.x86-64.rpm o hppp-linux-x_xx_xxx-x86-64 Installing on a virtual operating system 125

Installing on a virtual operating system
125
Virtualized environment configuration
HP recommends installing HPPP clients on the virtual layer of the virtualized host.
Implement the following configurations:
•
Enable hardware support for virtualization on the host BIOS. For information about enabling
virtualization, see the BIOS documentation.
•
To enable automatic booting of the virtual host, configure the physical machine for automatic OS
booting upon startup.
•
Install PV Tools (XenTools) on each virtual machine. For instructions, see the XenServer installation
guide.
•
For Xen with RHEL or Debian, install GPL Para virtualized (PV) drivers on each Windows virtual
machine.
•
To install drivers for KVM with RHEL 6 or Debian 5, see the KVM virtualization host configuration and
installation guide.
UPS devices through RS232 (serial) connectivity are not supported on RHEL.
Virtualized environment network configuration
To configure the network:
1.
Be sure that all hardware elements have an operational network configuration to communicate freely
with each hardware element. Check firewalls and blockers.
2.
Enable the following TCP/UDP ports on the firewall:
a.
For TCP port 4679 and 4680, enable remote access for supervision and configuration through a
web browser.
b.
For TCP port 80 on the machine hosting HPPP, open a destination port for output.
3.
Configure communication between HPPP and the HP Network Module:
iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 4679 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 4680 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 4679 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 4680 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp --dport 4679 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp --dport 4680 -j ACCEPT
service iptables save
