8 VMware ESXi 4.1 and later. Modify the following two parameters in the shutdownESXi41.sh script:
• vma_name (the name of the vMA)
• timeout (the time that the operating system waits for all VMs to shut down before initiating the
ESXi host shutdown)
Open the shutdownESXi41.sh shell script. Refer to the left pane of the client interface window to
a
view the name of the VM. In this example, the parameter value of vma_name is VMA4.1
(see Figure 124).
Figure 124. vMA Name
Enter the following script to change the vma_name parameter from VMA to VMA4.1:
b
perl ghettoHostShutdown41.pl --host_operation autoquery
--vm_operation auto --timeout 2 --vma_name "VMA4.1"
Open the shutdownESXi41.sh shell script.
c
Calulate the time that the operating system should wait for all VMs to shut down before initiating
d
the ESXi host shutdown. Each guest operating system requires a minimum of 30 seconds to
shutdown. If there are 10 VMs, the timeout should be set to 5 minutes.
Example: 10 VMs x 30 seconds = 300 seconds (5 minutes)
Enter the script to change the timeout parameter.
e
Example:
perl ghettoHostShutdown41.pl --host_operation autoquery
--vm_operation auto --timeout 5 --vma_name "VMA"
