Host Shutdown

PowerChute can remotely shutdown a host managed by SCVMM 2012 or later.

Host Shutdown is only available for SCVMM 2012 or later.

   Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) settings must be configured in SCVMM to allow PowerChute to remotely shutdown hosts.    If BMC is not configured, PowerChute will not make the Host Shutdown option available.    If BMC settings are not enabled on all Hosts, the Host Shutdown option will not be available in the PowerChute user interface.

 

 

The PowerChute option to configure Host Shutdown is available in Virtualization Settings.
