starting up a lab in fustion

sorry, I've been up for 24 hours travelling globally and thought I would try and get my lab to start automatically in an ordered manner...  but can't quite seem to work it out.

I have a two esxi fusion VMs, and OpenFiler VM a vCenter VM and a domain contoller.  I want to automatically start them as

domain contoller

openfiler

esxi1

iesi2

vcenter server

and maybe pause a little between certain ones to wait until they start up... though vCenter is the only one that takes more that a about 30 seconds to start and openfiler starts in about 10 seconds (got a new MBP retina 3.7Ghz with 16 GB of memory and 750 GB flash... sweeeeeeeeet!) 

Working on my VCAP DCA exam and just want to be able to start my lab with one button basically, but can't figure it out as I am now offically brain dead.

if anyone can tell me what to do, I may be able to work it out in the erm, morning.

Best regards to all

Bill

feel the love 🙂

The VMware Fusion GUI does not provide what you're asking.  The only suggestion I have it to script a solution.
