Hi all,

I have an APC UPS with NMC2 card in it. I did install the ova file and it's a VM machine. I configured it to connect with my esxi host.

Now I do have another esxi host. I can't seem to find a way to add it to the NMC2 of my UPS.

When I go to the wizard, they say it should be possible to have 1 UPS system with a NMC2 card going to two esxi hosts. See attached file.

Anyone can tell me how to set it up, maybe I am not looking the right direction. Thanks.

Hi,

Install the OVA on the second host and configure it as you did the first to communicate with the NMC. Each host will have an instance of the OVA on it and that OVA will be responsible for send the the shutdown signal to the host sever it is running on. 

NOTE: you should review Schneider Electric FAQ FA159688

I didn't think about that. 

Will deploy it on the second host and will configure it the same way. Thanks!
