How long is the estimated shutdown time?
Basic shutdown time
After entering all the data, an estimate time will be shown RCCMD may be need for a full shutdown.
You can see the estimated shutdown time below the ESXi host settings.
Please note that this value is a guideline calculated by entered data.
This value is intended to help you to find the optimized trigger time to run an emergency shutdown routine if a power failure
occurs.
Note:
Each UPS can only grant a pre-defined time window emergency power. When the batteries are depleted, the UPS will shut
down itself to avoid damaging the batteries. In general, it will not help if you just play with the numbers within RCCMD until the
estimated shut down time matches the data sheet of the UPS:
Furthermore, these values are just a snapshot of your system based on the data you entered! Please check regularly whether
the entered values meet the real shut down condition in case of an emergency.
Keep in mind that between two shutdown tests the shutdown conditions may change. When calculating and adapting
the average shutdown time, we recommend to take some extra time than the minimum time requires..
The configuration of RCCMD is now complete and RCCMD will be able to shut down your system in an emergency. Please note
that RCCMD does not become active automatically - it needs a valid RCCMD shutdown command. The transmitter is usually an
SNMP card or a software tool that can handle RCCMD shutdown signals.
On the following pages all configuration menus are explained in detail in the order of appearance.
