Hi
Having used NUT for many years (Irix/Linux/Solaris/win32), but only used
VMWare ESX v3 for about 4 weeks, what scripted command are you telling
NUT to run to tell ESX to shutdown/suspend the VMs before it really
powers itself down? (Not sure calling "shutdown" would be such a good
idea :)
I'm not at all en ESX expert, but from what I know, VMs are brought up
automatically at vmware startup, but not shutdown.
Below is a code snipped that iterate on all VM and try to shut these
down softly:
stopVMWare()
{
# Test if we have a Vmware ESX v3 setup
if [ -x /usr/bin/vmware ]
then
ESXV3=`/usr/bin/vmware -v | grep "ESX Server 3"`
if [ -n "$ESXV3" ]
then
# Get the VM list
VMLIST=`/usr/bin/vmware-cmd -l`
for VM in $VMLIST
do
# Get the VM state
VMSTATE=`/usr/bin/vmware-cmd "$VM" getstate -q`
# Guest OS shutdown if VMSTATE is equal to "on"
if [ "$VMSTATE" == "on" ]
then
/usr/bin/vmware-cmd $VM stop trysoft
# delay a bit the next sequence
sleep 2
fi
done
fi
fi
}
hope this help,
Arnaud
