Help with PowerCLI parameter to configure Power Management settings on Guest VM

[yoda2013]

I am trying to find the setting to use to put my Windows VMs Power Management on Standby Mode (instead of default "Suspend"). Please see attached image. I am looking for the parameters/properties that control and manage the settings shown on the image to use in my PowerCLI script. Specifically, what new object I need to create to take care of this. Any help highly appreciated.

Thanks very much.

This is the 2nd thread of yours that I’ve moved to the PowerCLI area.

Try like this

$vmName = 'MyVM'

$vm = Get-VM -Name $vmName

$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

$spec.PowerOpInfo = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineDefaultPowerOpInfo

$spec.PowerOpInfo.StandbyAction = 'checkpoint'

$vm.ExtensionData.ReconfigVM($spec)

Thanks LucD. That was exactly the setting I was looking for.

I tried it and it worked correctly. Much appreciated

Sincerely,
