vC0 5.1 enable hotplug cpu with workflow

[mobcdi]

Is it possible to enable the hotadd cpu capability to a vm using vCO workflow thats shown in vm settings -> options "Memory/CPU Hoplug" setting using the vSphere client ?

I found the changeVMvCPU action but would it be possible to enable hotadd after shutting down the vm instead?

While on the topic how do you go about enabling hotadd for CPU via the web client when editing settings

Onyx to the rescue? http://www.vcoportal.de/2012/05/using-onyx-for-fast-workflow-development/

With it you should be able to figure out the necessary VirtualMachineConfigSpec to enable cpu/memory hotplug within minutes...

Cheers,

var spec = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
spec.memoryHotAddEnabled = false;
spec.cpuHotAddEnabled = false;

managedObject.reconfigVM_Task(spec);  // VirtualMachine

this config spec should do what you want....

and here's the Workflow Package for that...
