API to turn on Fault Tolerance

[Bramha]

For my BR application I need to Turn Off FT to be able to take a VM Snapshot . I found API TurnOffFaultToleranceForVM_Task to turn off FT for a VM. But I dont see any API to turn it on back again. Why isn't there an API to turn FT on ?. Is there some way I can do this ?

Thanks,

Parag

For fault tolerance management, you'll be using the following methods:

CreateSecondaryVM_Task() (configure FT for a VM)

EnableSecondaryVM_Task() (turn ON FT for a VM)

DisableSecondaryVM_Task() (disable FT for a VM)

TurnOffFaultToleranceForVM_Task() (turn OFF FT for a VM)

You can take a look at this script I wrote to manage FT:
