HA will not kick in, and neither will DRS. the APC tool does a commandline shutdown of the VM's and than shuts down the ESX host.In otherwords if you use the default APC tools you don't need to change anything inside the VM, it will work out of the box.

Stefan wrote a nice howto about the installation and configuration: http://www.stefanschuller.com/index.php/2007/10/06/guide-how-to-setup-apc-powerchute-network-shutdow...

besure to enable the startup of the vm's when the esx hosts are booted via the config tab Virtual Machine Startup/Shutdown
