Power management
HP UPS Power Protection Agent overview
The HP UPS Power Protection Agent runs on a local or network server and allows the management module
to gracefully shut down the operating system of that server and optionally run a script during power failure.
Install the agent on any machine that is powered by the UPS and any machine that the management module
uses to initiate a command.
NOTE: If you are an existing HP Power Manager user, you must uninstall the HPPM Remote
Agent before installing the UPS Power Protection Agent.
