BTW if all you want is safe shutdown, it can be done even without |
| 10 |
vm-tools (which I personally do not like at all). In vSphere-client |
| 11 |
I have "suspend" instead of shutdown (current state with memory |
| 12 |
snapshot is saved), from ESXi you'd have to play a little with |
| 13 |
/sbin/shutdown.sh script (i.e. with ssh/keys to log into all VM |
| 14 |
and shut them down), and for power-interruption you can use NUT |
| 15 |
(which I find better than apcupsd or PowerChute, because there is |
| 16 |
native NUT-client for ESXi)... |

apart from apcupsd |
| 19 |
you can use NUT (which I find better, there is native ESXi-client). |
