I bought a OL3000RTXL2U and an expansion battery to be a UPS for my switches, storage box, and four ESXi hosts after being told PowerPanel can be configured to work with ESXi as an appliance.
I have installed their OVF template/ CentOS VM to run PowerPanel however it looks like one instance of PowerPanel can only shutdown one ESXi Host. How about a cluster...?
Is there a power down priority option for a HA cluster like there is a stand alone host? Each machine has a VM on it for balancing resources (not so much power, ha) and I can manually configure the host shutdown when logging into the vCenter server via the desktop client but as soon as a VM migrates it changes back to manual start up.
I also need to initiate shutdown for my storage box as well (FreeBSD/ NAS4Free).
Any suggestions?
