2. I have different esx 5.1i root passwords, how can I adjust for this inside of the script?
3. The following line: ups_vm="vSphere Management Assistant \(PW-LABVMAXAS\)" is this correct or should it be = ups_vm="PW-LABVMAXAS"

Sam,
You do not need to enter user names and passwords. PCNS 3.0.1 uses VIFPTARGET/vMATarget functionality provided by the vMA to store the ESXi host credentials. PCNS retrieves the credentials when connecting to the host to shut it down using the RCLI/Perl SDK. These credentials are actually stored in an XML file on the vMA. When you add a target host using the vifp addserver command a new accounts is created. We use the same file / grab the same info when running shutdownvms.sh
If you need help with adding host the the target list please review page 54 and 55 of this PDF
For question 3 you should enter ups_vm="PW-LABVMAXAS"
