vCenter Server Virtual Machine Shutdown

NOTE: In a Dell VxRail configuration, vCenter Server VM Shutdown is only relevant for a stretched cluster configuration.

PowerChute will wait the time specified in the vCenter Server VM Shutdown Duration field to gracefully shut down the vCenter Server VM before proceeding with the next step in the shutdown sequence.

NOTES:

  • The duration set here will not be applied if the vCenter Server VM is added to a priority group when VM Prioritization is enabled.

  • If VM Prioritization is not enabled, the vCenter Server VM will be the last VM to be shut down before the PowerChute VM.

  • If VM Prioritization is enabled and the vCenter Server VM is added to a priority group, it will be shut down with the other VMs in its priority group.

  • The vCenter Server VM cannot be added to a priority group in a Dell VxRail configuration.
