I do it. Works great. Uses vMA. Read here -

Don't do that - it's silly. Use vMA.

One though folks have had: install powerchute on a VM, pass in the USB APC device and have the VM send a shutdown command to the host via ssh.

That is the same guide we were looking at but we are wondering if it works ok with ESXi 5?
I guess we will find out once the APC gets in lol.

If 5 still uses vMA, then yep.
Brilliant, thanks! Wonder if it works the same under ESXi 5?
There is a newer pdf for version 3.0 http://emea-en.apc.com/app/answers/...ork-shutdown-version-3.0-on-vmware-esxi---vma

why is it silly? works fine, particularly if you already have a VM. I have seen that guide. that way works fine if your apc ups has a network management card, otherwise it is useless...
I thought I read somewhere that you can't use that solution with ESXi Free. Is that correct?
Which solution?
Which solution?
The official APC one.

Well i thought all of it was not officially supported by VMware anyways?

I don't mean not supported, I mean that I thought I read it cannot work at all because ESXi free restricts it from working.
Here's something I found via a quick Google search. Was just hoping someone could comment on whether this is still true as of vSphere 5

If I login to my vsphere5 client, the status shows that ssh and remote shell are both enabled, so I'm guessing that article is out of date. But, like I said already, the article spacehonkey cited from apc talks about configuring powerchute for a ups with a management card, which I don't have.
