I just got the Eaton E9 3000i today. I downloaded the PMI 2 OVA, it was installed as a VM in VMWare, and after some fighting with certificates I finally got it to load. I can't believe how bad UPS softwares are..
The E9 is connected to the VMWare Host via the USB cable (this model does not have a network card by default). IPM 2 does not find the UPS no matter what I tried. Also, I can't seem to access the "local interactive console" because none of the default passwords that I found on the internet work. I wouldn't much about what to do there either to be honest.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm beginning to suspect it's actually the cable provided by Eaton, but it's showing up in VMWare and it's getting passed to the IPM VM.
