Shutdown CUCM together with ESXi

SOURCE:
-import APC PCNS 4.1 ova into your ESX
NOTE:
-I use APC PCNS for Linux only. I didn’t use its PCNS because I don’t have APC UPS with NMC.
If I have NMC, I’ll use PCNS instead of apcupsd or still using apcupsd with pcnet settings
If someone want to donate me APC NMC, I’ll glad to test for them

-login as root to pcns and install apcupsd

# yum -y install epel-release
# yum -y install apcupsd
# yum -y install putty

-for linux based apt-get use these commands
# apt-get install apcupsd
# apt-get putty-tools

# yum -y install openssh-clients

-test ssh using admin account

# ssh admin@<CUCM IP>
install pexpect using either these commands
# yum -y install pexpect.noarch
or
# apt-get install python-pexpect

# cat /root/shutcucm.py

import pexpect
import sys
server_ip = “<CUCM IP>”
server_user = “<platform user>”
server_pass = “<platform pass>”
child = pexpect.spawn(‘ssh %s@%s’ % (server_user, server_ip))
child.logfile = sys.stdout
child.timeout = 60
child.expect(‘password:’)
child.sendline(server_pass)
child.expect(‘admin:’)
child.sendline(‘utils system shutdown’)
child.expect(‘Enter (yes/no)?’)
child.sendline(‘yes’)
child.expect(‘ Appliance is being Powered – Off …’)
print ‘Shutdown command successfully sent.’

Converting swf to pdf

In my case using Ubuntu

# apt-get install libjpeg62-dev libgif-dev libpng12-dev git g++ libfontconfig1-dev libfftw3-dev libpoppler-dev ghostscript imagemagick
# apt-get install libzzip-dev
# wget http://www.pdflib.com/binaries/PDFlib/705/PDFlib-Lite-7.0.5p3.tar.gz
# tar zxf PDFlib-Lite-7.0.5p3.tar.gz
# cd PDFlib-Lite-7.0.5p3/
# ./configure;make;make install
# cd ..
# git clone git://github.com/matthiaskramm/swftools
# cd swftools
# ./configure;make;make install
# cd ..

-check swf location
open FireFox
download and install “Flash and Video” FireFox plugin from http://www.fnvfox.com/downloads.html
go to http://company.com/ccie-lab-manual/
check total pages
go to page1
