automation for viftarget -s only on startup (for PCNS)

$

Hello out there

 

Atm I'm working on a vMA specially for APC's PCNS.

So far everything works fine but if the vMA itself reboots I have to run a vifptarget -s manually, otherwise PCNS won't be able to shutdown the ESXi.

It would be really cool if I could put this in a script which runs automated on every boot.

 

So far I have read that vifptarget isn't designed to be used in a script, but it seems that there are some tricks to use it.

 

What I have done so far:

 

I created a script in /etc/init.d/

 

#! /bin/bash
#
# vifptarget
#
# chkconfig: 3456 20 80
# description: Adds ESXi host as target
source /opt/vmware/vma/bin/vifptarget -s <IP>

 

ln -s /etc/init.d/vifptarget /etc/rc5.d/vifptarget

 

chkconfig --add <script>

chkconfig <script> on

chkconfig --list

vifptarget      0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

 

I'm not so familar with centos and chkconfig, so I'm not sure if it was right.

 

I found several threads about the vifptarget in a script but alway in combination to create switches or something like that for more than one host.

 

So maybe you can help me out.

 

Regards
