VMware Virtual Machine Shutdown Script | Clean Shutdown
Sharing a customized script for reference :I had a situation as below :
A cluster of 3 ESX 4.1 in a data center and each data center has its own UPS
The requirement was to turn off HA first, smooth power down VMs and then power down host.
/etc/opt/init.d/vmware-aam shutdown ;
vmware-cmd -l | while read i ;
do vmware-cmd $i stop trysoft && /sbin/shutdown -hP now ;
doneI run this and seen working well for me and on one of my customers machine.
Disclaimer : written as hobby neither VMware nor I are responsible for if any damages caused.
Hope it helps
