I got a Vmware ESXi v5.5 server running 3 x2012R2 VM's and I got a APC SmartNET 1500 UPS with the Network interface card installed. I want the battery to shutdown my VMs and server after the battery runs at a certain percentage.
I haven't had a chance to configure the network management card yet but I wanted to know if these instructions are still valid for me?:

I was reading it over and it looks like i need to install the Vmware vMA via vsphere client OVF importand then use that to vMA tomanage the other VMs to shut down? The link only shows instructions for vMA v4.0/v4.1, should I get the newer vMA that works on v5.5, since that's the version that I'm using?
