RCCMD requires the following information:
HOST / IP name
Normally, we recommend using the IP address of the
RCCMD host here. You can, however, also enter the host
name itself.
User
A user with the appropriate system privileges to shut down
the VMware environment accordingly.
Password
The password assigned to the user that allows RCCMD to
authenticate itself as authorized.
The next step will determine how much time RCCMD should allow the virtual machines to quit before the ESXi host powers
down:
Virtual machines take different amounts of time to shut down and shut down properly. The exact time, how long a machine
needs, is very individual and depends strongly on the task and the promised hardware. To prevent data loss or damage to the
virtual machine, the host can be instructed to give the machines a proper time window to shut themselves down before shutting
down itself.
Shutdown delay indicates the time in seconds that the host waits before being turned off.
The Default setting is 90 seconds - virtual machines taking more will be turned off due to the fact the ESXi host powers down.
You can check the access data with Check Values:

Click on Verify to confirm the entered ESXi data as verified server.
