Issue:
With PowerChute Network Shutdown version 5.2, there is an issue with the handling of duration values for the prioritized group in the Virtualization Settings:
- When any value is set for Startup, Shutdown, or VM Migration durations—either during initial configuration or after disabling VM Prioritization—these values are reset to 0 once VM Prioritization is re-enabled.
- This behavior occurs regardless of whether the values were set manually or retained from a previous configuration.
Expected Behavior:
- After the initial configuration, the values set for Startup and Shutdown durations in the Virtualization Settings should remain in the un-prioritized group fields on the VM Prioritization page.
- When values for Startup, Shutdown, and VM Migration durations are set via the VM Prioritization page, they should be saved in the pcnsconfig.ini file. Upon disabling and re-enabling VM Prioritization, these values should be retained from the config file instead of resetting to 0.
Product:

Environment:

Cause:
