Refer to page 5-26  of the HP Rack and Power Manager User Guide for steps to configure power fail settings. The guide is available at the following link:

Hi,

You can refer to the HP Power protector guide, Page 122 onwards guides you through installation and configuration of the software on VMware ESXi.

Hello,

In-line to the previous posts one point is HP Power protector(HPPP) can handle managing on one ESXi hosts per instance of HPPP. Meaning the client is capable of shutting down itself but not multiple hosts in the HA cluster.

Thank you

Does this means,  we need to have multiple ESXi Servers requires multiple UPS with Network Module or HA needs to be disabled
