Vmware Tools works with shell scripts to automatically shut down the ESXI6.0 process

Vmware Tools works with shell scripts to automatically shut down the ESXI6.0 process

Prerequisites: Each virtual server in the ESXi host needs to install the VMware Tools tool and use it with the script, otherwise it will not be able to shut down properly.

Install VMware Tools:

Determine if the VMware Tools tools are installed

Observation from ESXi:

Right-click Observation has been installed:

The VMware Tools tool is not installed:

Of course, you can also enter the system to view:

If you have installed a successful system service, you can see the VMware Tools service, such as.

Note If VMware Tools is not installed in the virtual server on ESXi

Use the command:

First, Vim-cmd Vmsvc/power.off

Second, esxcli VM process kill-t Soft (hard/force)-W

Shut down the virtual machine, although you can shut down the virtual machine, after repeated testing is forced power off, re-turn on the server will have an abnormal shutdown prompt, and the system log will be recorded.

If you use the: Vim-cmd vmsvc/power.shutdown command to close (without the VMware Tools tool installed) ESXi will have an error message and the command will not be executed successfully.

Finally, close the script:

Vmware tools with above shutdown script (Vim-cmd vmsvc/ Power.shutdown) use, shut down the virtual server, do not appear error log prompt, if there is a subsequent forced shutdown script execution (indicating that the virtual server has an exception that caused the failure to shut down properly, so forced to shut down, you can view the virtual server and ESXi log exclusions, there is no discussion, Because the server normally shuts down normally.)
