Here is a quick and dirty How-To to enable NUT (https://networkupstools.org/). This is a quick rewrite of the French version written by the NUT VIB author.
Security Warning
In order to install the ESXi VIB for NUT support, you have to enable unsigned VIBs to be installed. This is open-source software and you can view the code at http://rene.margar.fr/2012/05/client-nut-pour-esxi-5-0/.
Enabling Community Support
Using the console, ssh, or esxcli command SDK, run the following command. This command allows ESXi to install unsigned VIBs. The NUT VIB is unsigned.
#> esxcli software acceptance set --level CommunitySupport
