Right way to shut down ESX with APC UPS

  • 1.  Right way to shut down ESX with APC UPS

    Posted Jan 30, 2013 12:32 PM

    Hi.

    About my setup: I have about 20 servers across 3 different ESX, to these to ESX server are 2 APC 3000 UPS (With management card) connected

    I think I have searched quite a bit and right know, as I can see there is 3 solutions:

    • Install the APC client on all servers manually. (What about the ESX?)
    • Make a perl script thats shut down the virtual machines, but it cant start them again.
    • Make a vMA server thats have the APC software on it, which remote send a shutdown signal to the Virtual Machines and ESX. (Again what about startup and ESX servers).


    Thanks.
