Cisco HyperFlex Support for VMware

If you have a Cisco HyperFlex Cluster with ESXi as your hypervisor, you can enable HyperFlex support for PowerChute in the PowerChute Setup wizard.

Enable Cisco HyperFlex Support

To enable HyperFlex support, open the PowerChute Setup wizard and follow the steps below.

1. Select HyperFlex from the Hyperconverged Infrastructure Support drop-down list in the vCenter Server Details screen and click Next. 

2. In the HyperFlex Details screen, enter your HyperFlex credentials to connect to your Cluster.
3. Click Next to validate the connection.
4. If the connection to your HyperFlex Cluster is successful, you will be directed to the Virtualization Settings screen where you can configure your HyperFlex settings. These settings can later be edited in the Virtualization Settings screen in the PowerChute UI.

When attempting to connect to HyperFlex Cluster, if an untrusted SSL certificate is detected, a dialog to view the certificate will appear. Please verify that the certificate is correct and accept it in order to proceed. The certificate will be added to the PowerChute-keystore.

When HyperFlex support is enabled, additional sections will appear in the Virtualization Settings screen in the PowerChute UI.
