Powerchute Vcenter Physical

[Anonymous user]

Hello.

1. I have Physical Server on which Vcenter is running . I've   installed here /Windows 2008r2/ Powerchute Network Shutdown. Enabled VM support, and not tick  Vcenter is VM ofcourse /it is physical/ and configured rest (Vms shutdown, times etc)

Question.

I don't know if Powerchute is smart enough 🙂 When VMs are down. Powerchute will shut down Windows 2008r2 /where vcenter is running).?

I didn't add this physical server in powerchute it was not option.

I think powerschute is smart and it shutdown physical server - Windows 2008r2 because  Vcenter is running on it ? Am I right ?

2. I don't know does powerchute shut down ESXi hosts when all VMs are down ? /Enter ESXi hosts in maintance mode and shut it down ? /

/Sorry for poor English/

Hi,

The PowerChute Network Shutdown 4.2 VMware User's Guide lists your configuration and describes how the process works on page 91.

PowerChute will shutdown the system vCenter Server is running on.
