PCNS 4.3 | Priority Group Duration | Migration, Shutdown, Startup

Hi,

I have a couple of questions:

1. Why is there a default timer of 30 second for the VM Migration duration - Un-prioritized menu?  Other values low, medium, high are 0. please set it in the future to 0. ( feature request 🙂 )
2. When i set for example the Low group to 120 seconds and the servers need 30 seconds. Will Powerchute go to the other priority group after the Low group is ready or really waits for 120 seconds.
3. Is there some kind of training from APC for vSAN shutdown ?

Thanks! Ray

1- If you set a 0 second duration for a priority group, the migration action will be skipped for all VMs in that priority group.

2- Waits 120 seconds even if the task finished before or later. Then starts the next group depending if its migrating , shutdown or starting.

3- I used the Youtube channel for some configuration and the user guide for PCNS 4.3
