PowerChute displays all of the Hyper-V hosts in the inventory managed by SCVMM in a tree view. From this screen you can select the hosts that PowerChute should protect.
Specify the hosts in the left hand panel you want to protect by dragging them to the right-hand panel of this screen.
When a critical UPS event occurs, PowerChute will shutdown the hosts in the order that they appear in the right-hand panel. You can change this order by clicking on a host in the right-hand panel and dragging it up or down.
In advanced UPS configuration the Hyper-V hosts are powered separately by one or more UPS(s) in a UPS setup. The right-hand panel shows the UPS Setups that have been configured and are monitored by PowerChute.
It is necessary to associate each host in the left-hand panel with the UPS Setup by which it is powered. To do this, drag each host from the left hand panel to the UPS Setup in the right hand panel.

If the IP address/Hostname of any of the hosts are changed it will be necessary to re-associate the hosts with the UPS’s. |
In advanced UPS Setups, PowerChute can monitor UPS's which are powering equipment outside a Hyper-V cluster (e.g. a Storage Array Device or a physical server machine running PowerChute).
For more information see Shutdown Settings for Advanced UPS Setups.
