We have site A with a stand alone ESXi host and site B with a vCenter server connected to an ESXi host. Both sites have different UPS's connected to the servers on those sites and Site B is working perfectly fine.
I installed PowerChute Network Shutdown v4.2 VMware Virtual Appliance as VM on the ESXi server on site A and I noticed I don't have the options Host Protection & VM Prioritization as I have on site B. See screenshot below. Is this normal? The connection to the standalone ESXi host is setup correctly and Powerchute is able to communicate with it.
(Note: I don't have any Powerchute agents running on the VM's or host on Site A since this also wasn't necessary for site B when I set that up a while ago, so I assumed this is the same in a standalone ESXi setup.)

Hi,
Host Protection and VM Prioritization are only available when PCNS is configured with vCenter Server. To configure shutdown and startup of VMs with standalone VMware ESXi host see VMWare knowledge base 547938 https://communities.vmware.com/thread/547938
