Is it possible to use UBox or USB Anywhere to gracefully shutdown VM's and the host?... I have tried VIMA and the APC Smart Card stuff...I am not a linux guy and it is hard for me to get this working.. I had all kinds of trouble and found little or no help. I would be nice if some one had virtual appliance built that you could customize or your enviroment. Anyway I was just wondering about UBox or USB Anywhere options.
No, I don't think so. You could probably shut down a VM this way, but in order to shut down ESXi correctly, you have to be able to install some sort of agent into the limited service console, which is very difficult to do.
