Stop powerchute from migrating(vsphere)

[Anonymous user]

Hello,

We have a cluster of 5 ESXI host.
We have powerchute installed and set the threshold to shut down the VM's to 10 minutes of battery time left.

But now whenever the UPS battery time goes below the 10 minutes powerschute starts an action to migrate all the virtual machines to a different host.

But we dont want that we just want them to shut down in the order we gave.
Is it possible to stop powerschute from sending migrate commands

Have you looked at this article:

Basic gist is that if you have DRS set in vSphere which is then triggers APC to automatically enable it in their software, then there is a conflict if you don't have a second site to migrate your VM's to.  Apparently a product enhancement request has been put in to have this addressed in 4.3, but there is no news on when that will be released.
