PCNS plugin is trying log into esxi host directly - error

[BillP]

Hello.

I have pcns 4.2.0 and its connected to vcenter server by account   domain\username
And this working fine.

But i see error logs on vcenter , initated by system where pcns is installed  - domain\username  that this account is trying to connect to esxi host directly and cant (hosts aren't connected to domain).

I dont know why PCNS is still trying (error every few minutes)  connect to all esx hosts, when has access to vcenter.

How to turn off that?

Hi,

PowerChute needs to communicate with each host to power them down once vCenter Server has been powered down. See Application Note 180 for description of the process. You need to have an account that PowerChute will use to communicate with vCenter and the hosts. See pages 17 - 20 of the Application Note.
