Hi,
I am trying to install and configure APC's Network Shutdown for VMware version 2.2.1.
APC has a specific rpm for VMware and even has VMware mentioned in their installation guide, so I thought this will be a walk in the park...but no.
I installed the rpm using rpm -ivh which created files under /usr/local/bin/PowerChute and created the necessary S and K scripts in several runlevels. There were no esxcfg-firewall modifications so I added:
esxcfg-firewall -o 3052,tcp,out,APC-ups
esxcfg-firewall -o 3052,tcp,in,APC-ups
esxcfg-firewall -o 3052,udp,out,APC-ups
esxcfg-firewall -o 3052,udp,in,APC-ups
and also esxcfg-firewall - o 80,tcp,out,http
but even without the firewall (-allowIncoming, -allowOutgoing) active I still can't get to the http://esxserver:3052 page to configure the APC Agent.
I tried launching the app by /etc/rc.d/init.d/PowerChute start but it just gives info and that's it.
Okay, probably a configuration issue, so I ran /usr/local/bin/PowerChute/PCNSConfig.sh and I tried following this but I keep getting access denied. I am sure though about username/password/passphrase...
What is your experience with APC's UPS agent on ESX?
All info welcome!
TIA
