* 2 VM Host ESXi 6.5 (Physical Server) - managed by 1 Vcenter 6.5 (virtual appliance as 1 guest of Host cluster)
* 1 APC UPS - Model "Smart-UPS X 3000", SKU "SMX3000RMHV2U" with Network Management Cards - AP9630
Problem:
We are installed the PowerChute Network Shutdown 4.2 on a physical server (Windows Server 2012). Config as "Host managed by VCenter Server" with vsphere local administrator account. Client don't have Active Directory config as their VMware environment.
It was test the VCenter and ESXi Host shutdown by unplug the power on UPS Device.
It found the ESXi Server cannot be shutdown base on the VM host VCenter 6.5 (virtual appliance) enter maintenance mode.
If Vmotion the VM Host VCenter to Other ESXi Server. It result the ESXi Server can trigger the power shutdown.
