yes, you must buy the PCNS for Hyper-V single server license. the free PCNS will not install on the system running Hyper-V.

also, to shutdown the guest OS, please see[this APC Knowledgebase|http://nam-en.apc.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10381/].

yes, powerchute network shutdown is what you need for Hyper-V. you must use a network management card in conjunction with the specific powerchute network shutdown for hyper-v.

here is some helpful info on that -> http://www.apc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=127
