The setup is a HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 server running ESXi 6.7 Hypervisor. There is no vCenter server. The server has dual power supplies. There is an APC Smart UPS (SMT1000RMI2UC) available.

 

Upon a power outage in the building, I'd like to have the ESXi host server automatically suspend all its VMs and shut itself down after the power has been gone for 5 minutes.

 

Can this be achieved without using a third-party server?

 

For example, maybe I could connect one of the server's power supplies to the UPS and the other to a power outlet. That way, the server should be able to detect if there's a power outage. Combining that with some scripting to suspend its VMs and power itself off  ... ?
