Passing the shutdown control to RCCMD when using a single host
Menu: VMware Settings
Go to VMware Settings:
If you have not yet made any settings, RCCMD will inform you that RCCMD needs additional information:
Although RCCMD is installed as a virtual machine and is already ready for use, it cannot yet fulfill its actual function since the
necessary access authorizations have not yet been stored. Confirm this message with OK to open the VMware settings:
When using a single host is, virtual machines
can be powered off before the ESXi host itself
shuts down.
Note
The regular shutdown routine requires the virtual machines to be shut down and the host itself to be shut down. In this case, the
shutdown duration merely defines the time window that the virtual machines have to shut down immediately after the RCCMD
shutdown signal is received. The Maintenance Mode timeout defines the time window that RCCMD grants vMotion before the
regular shutdown routine of the hosts takes effect. The maintenance mode in the shutdown behavior can therefore also be used
to trigger a shut down for different hosts including a time delay.
For Virtual Machine Management, select by RCCMD. As Virtual Machine Behavior Shutdown Virtual Machines.
To prevent RCCMD from shutting itself down, the VMware host must know what the machine running the RCCMD Client itself
is:
… RCCMD at the ESXi …
… the current RCCMD client
