Errors messages PCNS Network VM Appliance

Anonymous user · ‎2021-06-30

I’m using the virtual appliance on a single Esxi licensed host. Can you advise on the three warnings shown in the screen shot, do I just need to edit the .ini file ( where is it on the virtual appliance) or are they not significant to operation ?

Hi,

I suggest you run PowerChute Setup again in the web interface and select standalone VMware Host for the VMware Configuration. Then complete the remaining set up.

the pcnsconfig.ini file is in /opt/APC/PowerChute/group1. If you decide the edit the .ini file you should stop the PowerChute service first. The command is service PowerChute stop.

Thanks. Ran the setup again as standalone host. Exactly the same warnings. Must I edit the file or are they benign?

Is protection working ???

Hi,

The error are benign.

This is what the ini file should look like

[HostConfigSettings]

VMware_connect_timeout = 10

VMware_read_timeout = 15

enable_custom_target_vm_migration = false

custom_target_hosts =

[HostDetails]

ConfigurationMode = Unmanaged

Server = 192.168.1.100

Server_Protocol = https

Server_PORT = 443
