What Is Liebert MultiLink?

1.0

WHAT IS LIEBERT MULTILINK?

Emerson developed Liebert MultiLink to protect computers from costly damage such as loss of data resulting from power failuresfrom single computers to large networks. Liebert MultiLink constantly monitors one or more Liebert Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units, warns computer users of impending power loss and initiates graceful operating system shutdowns when needed. Liebert MultiLink comes in two versions: Liebert MultiLink Fundamentalavailable for download Liebert MultiLink Advancedupgrade The advanced version permits configurable responses to UPS status changes, including support for e-mail, virtual server shutdown and pager notification, executing commands prior to shutdown and silencing alarms. For information on upgrading to Liebert MultiLink Advanced, see 3.3 - Advanced Features.

1.1

How Does Liebert MultiLink Work?

Liebert MultiLink on a host computer communicates with a Liebert UPS using network or direct cable connections to detect loss of utility power and the status of the UPS battery. For network communications, Liebert MultiLink employs the SNMP protocol and IP addresses. For direct cable connections, Liebert MultiLink uses contact closure, USB or serial communications, depending on the UPS model. Users have the option of expanding Liebert MultiLinks network capabilities through license upgrades. A license upgrade allows the System Administrator to monitor and control multiple devicescomputers powered by the same UPS, other UPSs and even other Liebert MultiLink installationsthroughout a network from a single location. The Liebert MultiLink Network Shutdown License permits the designation of an authorized number of computers as targeted client computers. Liebert MultiLink installed on those targeted clients responds to On Battery and Low Battery notifications from Liebert MultiLink on the host computer. The Liebert MultiLink Network Administration License allows the configuration and management of many Liebert MultiLink installations over a network. All installations must have the same version of Liebert MultiLink to use this license. Each Liebert MultiLink host can be configured with a password that users must enter before connecting to the system remotely. Liebert MultiLink uses the SNMP protocol and IP addresses to communicate with targeted client computers (running Liebert MultiLink) using the networkinstead of requiring separate, expensive hardware and cables that might run alongside network lines. Liebert MultiLink permits using a Web browser to view monitoring data for a UPS equipped with a Liebert IntelliSlot Web/485 Card With Adapter or a Liebert IntelliSlot Web card.

Typical sequence
Liebert MultiLinks responses to a power loss depend on the version of the software, its configuration by the user, installation of any upgrade licenses and the type of connection between the host computer and the UPS. Following is a simplified version of how Liebert MultiLink Advanced might respond to a utility power failure. Utility power fails, and the UPS begins powering the computer network. The UPS senses the power loss, triggering Liebert MultiLink to activate timers and issue notifications that utility power has been interrupted. If the timers expire before utility power is returned, Liebert MultiLink can prompt an operating system shutdown, preventing the loss of valuable data as well as damage to computers from a precipitous loss of power. Depending on configuration by the user, Liebert MultiLink will respond automatically to this UPS event by sending pop-up notifications, e-mails and pager messages, running command-line options, performing an orderly shutdown and keeping a log of all events. When utility power is restored, the UPS prompts Liebert MultiLink to cancel the timers and notify targeted computers of the return to normal status.

If there are multiple users of the system on which Liebert MultiLink is being installed, the System Administrator should check the permissions on the installed files and modify the permissions as desired. The default permissions may not be appropriate. The MultiLink Viewer requires full read/write access to the Liebert MultiLink directories and certain files within. It requires administrator (root) privileges to perform functions that start or restart the Liebert MultiLink service.

If any test messages are sent, a verification similar to the one at left below appears on the computer running Liebert MultiLink, showing the total number of test messages that were sent. This is not an indication that the clients received the messages.

Test message successfully sent

Error message

If any messages are not sent, an error message will appear on the host computer. The error message, above right, indicates that the entry in Client Hostname or IP Address is an invalid IP address or is a hostname that cannot be resolved. The selected computer probably is not configured in the Domain Name Service. If it is configured with its associated reverse lookup entry, there might be a problem accessing the name service. Try to ping the name server and correct any problems there. If no problems are found at the server, check the configuration at the client end. b. Check all targeted client computers to verify that each received a test message similar to the one shown below.

This message should appear within five seconds of being sent. If it does not, compare the time it is displayed with the time on the message. If the lapse is more than 10 seconds, there is a local name service problem. If the message is received within five seconds, the local name service configuration is correct. If test messages are received in a timely fashion and the entry was a hostname, DNS or other name services are correctly configured.

The UPS designated as a computers event source is central to Liebert MultiLinks monitoring function. Events affecting the UPS chosen as the event source prompt Liebert MultiLink to issue alerts, shutdown notifications and launch scripts. For details on designating a UPS as your event source, use the Enable Actions check box as described in 8.3.3 - Properties - Setup Tab. The UPS added to the My Device List subfolder during Liebert MultiLinks installation serves as that computers event source. The System Administrator can add other UPSs to this subfolder for organizational purposes, but only one UPS may be designated as the computers event source. The event source designation can be switched to another UPS in the My Device List subfolder. You must have administrative privileges to set up or perform these operations. Liebert MultiLink displays the host computers event source in bold letters.

Event Actions - Shutdown

The Shutdown feature allows the orderly shutdown of the operating system and the UPS in response to certain events, such as Low Battery.
Shutdown Action

Enable box

UPS Output Off (not available on all UPS models)

To configure the Shutdown action: Check () the Enable Shutdown Action box. This is required for the action to operate. In the Operating System Shutdown area, check the Enable box to permit Liebert MultiLink to perform an orderly shutdown of the operating system. Use the arrows in the Delay boxes to specify the time lapse between an events occurrence and when the shutdown begins. The System Administrator can use the UPS Output Off feature to set up Liebert MultiLink to shut down the UPS after shutting down the host computers operating system. This feature is available only on certain UPS models. (A special cable may be required to support this feature on Contact Closure connections.) To set up the UPS Output Off feature, click on the Enable box, Use the related Delay boxes to specify an additional delay (above and beyond the Operating System Shutdown delay) prior to turning off the UPS output. NOTE Because the Canceling Event does not halt the UPS Output Off portion of the Shutdown action, Emerson strongly advises against enabling the UPS Output Off action if the Operating System Shutdown action is not enabled. Enabling Auto reboot UPS output causes the UPS to restore power to the load (after a brief delay) after the output power has been turned off as a result of selecting the Enable check box. These features induce a controlled cycling of power to the critical load, eliminating the need to reset the UPS manually. This option is not available with Contact Closure. Note: Input power to the UPS must be present before UPS output power can be restored. If the output has been turned off during a utility outage, the UPS output power will not be turned on until the input utility is restored. The Canceling Event will abort all actions initiated by Liebert MultiLink in response to the event being configured, except UPS Output Off (see NOTE above). See Table 14 for a list of Events with default canceling events. At any time, click on the Reset to Defaults button to revert to the factory defaults for this feature. To save settings, click on the MultiLink menu at the top of the window, then click on Save Event Configuration.

Install Liebert MultiLink Advanced 4.2 or greater on a computer - not on a guest operating system

2. Verify that Liebert MultiLink is communicating with the UPS. 3. On the Liebert MultiLink System, install Microsoft Windows PowerShell v2.0. This is a standard component in the Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and later operating systems although it is an optional feature that may need to be added to your machine. Computers running Windows XP and Vista may be upgraded by downloading and installing the Windows Management Framework. For more information on this, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968929. 4. Install VMware vSphere PowerCLI on the MultiLink computer. The PowerCLI distributions may be downloaded from the VMware Download Center. 5. On the Liebert MultiLink System, start a Windows PowerShell command window. A shortcut for this may be found at Start>Programs>Accessories>Windows PowerShell. a. Change the PowerShell script execution policy to RemoteSigned to permit running scripts on this machine. For security, Liebert has provided a signed script for this purpose so the execution policy may be set to something other than Restricted (the default). b. Run the following command in the Windows PowerShell command window: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned c. For more information about this policy, use the Get-Help about_Signing command. 6. On each virtual server, configure a user who is a member of the root group for Liebert MultiLink to use for shutting down that server. You will later need to configure the same user name and password within Liebert MultiLink. 7. Each guest operating system that Liebert MultiLink should shut down should have the appropriate VMware Tools installed. If these are present, Liebert MultiLink will perform a normal shutdown of the guest OS on that VMware Server. If VMware Tools is not installed in a particular guest OS, Liebert MultiLink will perform a forced shutdown of that guest operating system.

Making Your Own Liebert MultiLink UPS Cable

APPENDIX B - MAKING YOUR OWN LIEBERT MULTILINK UPS CABLE

The UPS and monitoring computer can be connected in either of two ways: serial connection or contact closure. A serial connection cable permits access to Liebert MultiLinks complete functionality, but may be used only for those UPS models listed in Table 1. Any other UPS model must use contact closure. Liebert MultiLink requires a custom cable. The software will NOT function properly with ordinary serial cables. Proper cables can be purchased from Emerson or made with readily available materials. To make your own cable, follow the instructions in this section. With the exception of Step 5, the instructions are identical for both the serial connection cable and the contact closure cable. (You may purchase a Liebert MultiLink UPS cable by contacting your local Emerson representative, value-added reseller or distributor. See Table 15 for part numbers.) You should prepare and attach the cable before installing Liebert MultiLink so that the system will be ready to use the software.

B.1

MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED

Two connectors, one with pins, the other with sockets, either DB25 or DB9 RJ11 or RJ12 cable Two connectors, RJ11 or RJ12, depending on the cable being used

B.2

INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these directions to build the cable: 1. Determine the connector your UPS needs Examine your UPS. Does it have a 9-socket or 25-socket connector? This connector should be a socket or pin connector and look similar to one of the diagrams below. You will need to obtain a corresponding pin or socket connector. The diagrams in Figure 4 - Serial Port Connectors will help determine the type of connector you have. The circles denote pins and the dots denote sockets.

Figure 4

2. Determine the connector your computer needs Examine your computer. Does it have a 9-pin or 25-pin connector? Is the connector a pin or socket type? (A pin connector has protruding pins; a socket connector has holes.) If the UPS has a socket connector, the cable connector must have pins and vice versa. The diagrams in Figure 4 - Serial Port Connectors will help determine the type of connector you have. The circles denote pins and the dots denote sockets. 3. Determine the length of the cable you need Measure the distance between the UPS and the computer. The cable must be long enough to reach each machines connector and to go around obstructions. Keep the cable as short as possible, preferably less than 25 feet. Do not lay the cable near electromagnetic interference sources such as AC power lines, fluorescent lights and induction motors.

Technical Information & Frequently Asked Questions

APPENDIX C - TECHNICAL INFORMATION & FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. What is a DHCP server? DHCP is the acronym for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol allows IP addresses to be allocated dynamically when computers are connected to a network. This protocol is often used to remotely grant an IP address to a computer for a limited time (typically a few days). See RFC-1541 for more detailed information. (RFCs are Request For Comment documents that set forth regulations on how communication occurs on the Internet. These documents are controlled by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and are available for viewing at the IETF Web site.) 2. How do I identify possible TCP/IP port conflicts when using a UPS equipped with an SNMP card? How do I resolve the conflict? TCP/IP port conflicts with ports 161 and 162 can be resolved by stopping SNMP services or daemons from running. This product does not support running the monitor or the shutdownclient on the same machine as a Network Management System (NMS). For the proper procedure to stop the SNMP services or daemons, see How Do You Contact Emerson for Technical Support? on page 1 to get assistance. 3. What is a service or a daemon? Both are processes initiated at boot time that require no user intervention to start and run. Some platforms, such as Windows NT, call them services; Unix terms them daemons. They also continue to run after the user logs off the computer. 4. Why do I see the screen flash when the UPS goes to on-battery or returns to normal? The flash is caused by display of an empty script window (windows that are devoid of text). 5. Should I use IP addresses or hostnames to configure Liebert MultiLink? Liebert MultiLink uses IP addresses to route alerts and notifications. It utilizes name service lookup to translate between IP addresses and hostnames. The hostnames are more easily understood by computer users who see them in notification messages and in the user log. In general, notification messages should appear within five seconds of the triggering event. Slower display of notification messages might be caused by DNS configuration problems. If this is suspected, follow the steps in Send a test message to clients in 8.3.6 - Properties - Clients Tab to send a test message. If slow display of messages is a persistent problem, Emerson suggests using IP addresses instead of hostnames. However, if TCP/IP addresses are dynamically assigned on your network, you may have to use hostnames.

Advice The battery runtime remaining has fallen below a userdefined level. Depending on where this level is set, you will want to take appropriate action such as saving your work and logging off. The Battery Time Remaining notification is user configurable and can be modified in the Event Configuration tab in Liebert MultiLink. If this condition persists, the UPS will shut off without further warning. Save your work and log out now. Check to be sure that ventilation openings to the UPS are not blocked and that the temperature outside the UPS does not exceed the maximum value listed in the manual for your unit. Some UPS models have air filters, which may be clogged. Also, be sure that the UPS is not overloaded. To conserve battery power your UPS corrects an under voltage condition by using a boost circuit. If this under voltage condition is persistent and the UPS continually operates in boost mode and you do not experience intermittent power failures, you may be experiencing an extended brownout. It is acceptable for the UPS to operate constantly in this state. Your UPS will correct this problem, however if this condition is persistent, it may be indicative of a utility problem. The output voltage is higher than the nominal range of the UPS. This condition is serious and needs to be investigated further. The output voltage is lower than the nominal range of the UPS. This condition needs to be investigated further. The UPS has been designed to detect potential problems. The battery charging circuit of the UPS is not working and the UPS should be replaced or serviced immediately. The size of the load on the UPS is greater than the rating on the UPS. If the UPS experiences a power failure, it will be unable to continue powering the load. Review equipment which may have been recently plugged into the UPS and remove any non-critical items. You may also need a larger capacity UPS to handle your current requirements. The utility voltage or frequency is not adequate to support your load on the bypass circuit. Do not switch to bypass until utility power returns to normal. The size of the load being powered by the UPS is now within the acceptable range of the UPS. If you have taken steps to correct an overload condition, you have been successful. If you are frequently receiving this notification along with an Output Overload warning, you should confirm the UPS is only powering intended equipment and that an unauthorized device has not been connected to the UPS. The utility voltage and frequency are now adequate to support your load on the bypass circuit. It is safe to switch to bypass power if required. The UPS is beginning a test of the battery.
