This script is similar to Joseph’s work [http://viops.vmware.com/home/docs/DOC-1341 How to configure ESXi to shutdown using an APC SmartUPS] although it will not necessitate enabling the unsupported SSH console on the ESXi hosts. This is made possible by utilizing the VI Perl Toolkit to communicate with the ESXi hosts. The only possible drawback however is that next revision of ESXi may disallow write operations and require that the user purchase ESXi license(s) to make full use of the VI API (read/write). | This script is similar to Joseph’s work [http://viops.vmware.com/home/docs/DOC-1341 How to configure ESXi to shutdown using an APC SmartUPS] although it will not necessitate enabling the unsupported SSH console on the ESXi hosts.

This script is similar to Joseph’s work How to configure ESXi to shutdown using an APC SmartUPS although it will not necessitate enabling the unsupported SSH console on the ESXi hosts. This is made possible by utilizing the VI Perl Toolkit to communicate with the ESXi hosts. The only possible drawback however is that next revision of ESXi may disallow write operations and require that the user purchase ESXi license(s) to make full use of the VI API (read/write).
