VMWare permissions for PowerChute 4.1 - FA177822

[Anonymous user]

Hi,

I found this great document FA177822. But I didn't find seven permissions of them in my vCenter 6:

System:
The only privilege held by sessions which have not logged in
Grants read access to an entity
Visibility without read access to an entity. This is assigned implicitly by the system, if read privileges are assigned at lower le

Virtual machine interaction:
Disable the Secondary VM
Enable the Secondary VM
Perform management operations within the guest operating system via the VIX API
Make the Secondary VM the Primary VM

Is there a change in the new vCenter or did I just miss them while looking through?

Regards Wolfgang

Hi,

Yes there were changes made my VMware to vCenter Server 6. The document list the versions of PowerChute as 

Product Line:
PowerChute Network Shutdown v3.1 & 4.0 for VMware

and the 

Environment:
vCenter Server 5.x
ESXi 5.x

I remarked that it points to an older version of PCNS and also of vmware. But I could not find any newer one. Is there somewhere a newer one?

Thanks Wolfgang

Does there still no new/corrected version exist? I do not find anything.

Hi,

ESXi 6.x and vCenter Server version 6.x are supported by PCNS 4.2 

The compatibility chat is available at this link http://www.apc.com/whitepaper/?um=200

The software can be downloaded from this link. http://www.apc.com/us/en/tools/download/software_comp.cfm?sw_sku=SFPCNS42-V

Thanks a lot for that. I already had downloaded this. But I still need (over a year) the minimum permissions that the shutdown user needs. As already mentioned on the initial post the list in your document does not fit to the rights that VMware presents.
