Scripting shutdown of PS6010
We have an APC UPS that is configured to shutdown our VMs and ESXi hosts in the event of a prolonged power outage, but I'd like to be able to shutdown our SANs as well. I found some good info on how to accomplish this with some other SANs here:

and here:

But I must be overlooking something. I'm more interested in the Python scripts (though I should mention that I'm unfamiliar with Python), but when I go to the firmware download page, I don't see the scripting tools there. I've installed the Host Interface Tools, but I'm not finding the python sample scripts there. And while I have the powershell tools installed that came with the HIT, there doesn't appear to be any Stop-EqlMember cmdlet. Does anyone have any tips for me?

Hello,
You need to select a FW revision, that's closest to what you are running on the 6110. Then you will see the link for host scripting tools. There's a sample that shows how to restart the array in Python. That should be modifiable to do shutdown.
Regards,

Thanks. Having a D'oh! moment. Expected to see the tools there when expanding the section for my firmware, but I needed to click on the "download page" link.
