The HP PDU Management Module enables you to monitor and manage power environments through comprehensive control of individual HP PDUs.

• Access the management module:
  
  • Remotely through a Web browser.
  • Remotely through a Telnet session.
  • Locally through a terminal emulation program.

The management module can be configured to send alert traps to HP Systems Insight Manager and other SNMP management programs or used as a standalone management system. This flexibility enables you to monitor and manage with up to two PDUs through the network connector; the serial connector located on the front of the management module is only used for configuration. To facilitate day-to-day maintenance tasks, the firmware provides detailed system logs.

• Use the management module firmware to:
  
  • Customize alerts
    
    • Send email notification messages
    • Send SNMP traps
  • Monitor and manager PDUs
    
    • Manage independent PDU load segments to provide separate power control of connected equipment
    • Display text logs for analysis
    • Monitor the status of PDUs

• Use HP Systems Insight Manager to:
  
  • Discover management modules. As part of the discovery process, HP SIM can detect an installed management module. The web interface for the discovered module can be launched from the HPSIM Servers Links tab.
  • Receive SNMP traps from the management module. The module can send event-based traps to HPSIM that include a URL in the trap. This functionality enables administrators to easily launch the web interface of the module in context. For example, if the management module detects an alarm condition, the module can send a trap to HP SIM with an attached hyperlink that routes users directly to the Overview screen for the attached PDU.
  • Conveniently launch the management module web interface from within HP SIM.
    
    • Tools menu-Users can add a link to the web interface on the HP SIM Tools menu using a tools definition file.
    • Event-based trap-A URL is included in each trap to link directly from HP SIM to the Overview screen for the specific device for which the trap was sent.
    • Access to the management module can also be done by clicking on the Management Module link that is automatically created when the HP PDU Management Module is discovered by HPSIM.

• The management module implements strict security for two important reasons:
  
  • The module monitors devices that have the potential to perform operations that are sensitive and destructive.
  • The management module has browser accessibility.
• To better ensure the security of the management module and the devices it manages, consider the following topics in accordance with your organization's security policies and the environment in which the module will operate.
  
  • Remote access to the management module requires a user account. Logging in requires the use of a user name and password, which should be kept properly secured.
  • Each account in can be given different access levels, providing different capabilities. Ensure that the appropriate access level is granted to users.
  • Browsing to the management module can be done using SSL, which encrypts the data between the browser and management module. The module is supported by a 128-bit encryption level. SSL also provides authentication of the management module by means of its digital certificate. Securely importing this certificate must be done to ensure the identification of the management module.
