New deployment.... questions

[Anonymous user]

I brought online a new Symmetra LX 8000 yesterday.  I got PCNS v4.2 deployed as a VM and is talking with my vCenter.  All looks good from the PCNS webpage.

I  want it to shutdown my VMs when I have 20 minutes of battery remaining.  Do I only need to enable the Shutdown option under "Runtime remaining below threshold' and set it to 1200 seconds?  I do have VM Shutdown enabled with a 120 seconds Duration under the "Virtualization Settings" menu.  

Anything else required?  This is thing is confusing, so just making sure I've configured it correctly.

Thanks!

Hi,

Are you configuring PCNS to communicate with vCenter Server and if so what is the version and what is the versio of ESXi? 

You will find most questions concerning PCNS and VMware answered in these documents.
