Is there a VM appliance out there from APC that you can download and install for free in an EXSi environment to manage UPS's? I just got a client that has two hosts and three APC 1500's none of which have the network management card, when the power goes out they just power off when the UPS's run out of power. I want something that will gracefully shut down ESXi when a the power goes out.

I don't know why the links won't work. Ok then, search for PowerChute Business Edition. there's a long list of applications.
There's also a network shut down app.

You can also use nut

A friend of mine use nut on a raspberry pi to shut down his servers then power them up after the power being back on for 10min using wake on lan.

Heh, I have a Pi sitting here I kept asking myself "WTF am I going to do with this?". I have an answer
It is pretty kewl.Heh, I have a Pi sitting here I kept asking myself "WTF am I going to do with this?". I have an answer
He just added an Ubiquiti mpower pro controlled by the pi to shut off the switches and router and then bring everything back up.
It is a really nice setup.
The ups will run just the pi for a real long time once everything else is down.
The next step is to add led lighting that the pi turns on when the power goes out.
