Hi,
I have been trying to configure powerchute for a standalone ESX all day today, without positive result.
Don't know what's going wrong, could use some help.
First things first: we're using esx 6.5, single host.
The APC has firmware revision 06.6 (ID23). All hosts in the same subnet.
Powerchute version 4.2 deployed from the ova.
The issues start at the wizard: when trying to connect to the UPS, there is a long delay (the client is linked in the ups) after which the powerchute site claims it didn't receive any info back from the UPS.
I have disabled iptables and reset all passwords I wasn't sure of. Same result.
After finishing the wizard (ignoring the UPS error), I lose connection to my ESX host.
The username is cleared in the powerchute UI and the password seems to be changed.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or what I'm missing?
