Hi, I have a standalone host esxi 4. I don't have vcenter. I need that my host "auto power off" at 23:00 pm. every night
How I do ?
I wake up by "wol" everyday at 7:00 am
Thanks!
Hi, yes it can.
Hi, maybe you can schedule the hostsop.pl script on another system on your network. Take a look at this: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/157844;jsessionid=45D0CBE1E196B3EAFACBCD12D0257019?tstart=45
Hope this can help.
Regards/Saludos

The issue is that the interfaces for free-lienced ESXi are read-only and will not enable a scripted shutdown.
However my UPS script, here, could be used for this.
Please award points to any useful answer.
thanks, but I need a UPS,
the service crond dont exist in esxi4, its possible?
I think it is if you pay an ESX license.
As said, you need to pay for the ESXi license to use such tools.
The only way to shutdown a free-licensed host is to call the SOAP interfaces like the vSphere client does, which is what my UPS script does. Actualy it's just a shutdown script that I happened to develop to be called by APC's tools, but it can be called by anything (like a scheduled task in your case).
Please award points to any useful answer.
thans for replies,
J1mbo: This .bat can execute in a virtual machine of the host that I want to shutdown ?
Thanks--
