Setup NMC and install PCNS in vmware esxi 5.5

[BillP]

Hi support,

Good day. I've just bought a new Smart UPS 2200 with NMC included. Is there any guides or tutorials on setting up the NMC into UPS and followed by installing PCNS in vCenter? I've went through some of the tutorials in the web but it seems like confusing. For your information, I have the setup as following:

1) Smart UPS 2200 with NMC (NMC is not attached in UPS yet) 

2) 2 ESXi servers configured with vCenter

Can you please provide the steps required to perform the setup?

Thank you.

Best regards,

Kong

Hi,

Here are links to NMC User's Guide and Installation Manual

For PCNS here are links to the Installation Guide, User's Guide, and Application Note 180. Application Note 180 list configurations and the shutdown / start-up processes.

For PCNS I recommend deploying the virtual appliance and FAQ FA296461 has an attached video that demonstrates how to deploy the appliance.
