Confirm installation Vmware - PowerChute

[Anonymous user]

Sorry for my stupid question, but i search corfirm for what I've done:

I had vmware on ip 192.168.2.99, I installed Network card on 192.168.2.2, I installed PCNS_4.0_OVF10 with ip 192.168.2.3; in paricolary after installation of PCNS I executed "wizard"... I concluded with https://192.168.2.3:6547/selectevents -> UPS onBattery and i setted Delay.

But that's all for automatic shutdown of all server in vmware?

Thanks

Mirko,

Is vCenter Server configured or are the ESXi host standalone? If vCenter is used then if the ESXi hosts are added to the shutdown list they will be powered down. See Application Note 180 and PCNS VMware Users Guide for help.

Hi, ESXi is host standalone...

So without vCenter shutdown is "automatic" for all machine?

Thanks.

Best Regards.

Hi,

The ESXi host will be powered down and if configured properly the VMs will be powered down by the host. Knowledge base document FA159688 discusses how to configure ESXi host to power down VMs.

NOTE: The ESXi host must be fully licensed i.e license includes vSphere API. The free VMware license does not include vSphere API so  PowerChute cannot communicate with the host and therefore is not supported.
