Powering of all VM's during DR

[besogon]

Good morning,

I am working on DR plan for my company. We are doing SAN to SAN replication. How do you script bringing up all the VM's without being prompted whether they have been moved or copied?

I figured out how to regester all the VM in a different Virtual Center using Perl toolkit but need help with powering on the VMs.

Thanks in advance

You can use the AnswerVM() method to answer the question.

Almost forgot to point out how to get the blocking question

VirtualMachineQuestionInfo that is off the VirtualMachineRuntimeInfo.

As Stumpr has mentioned already, you can use the Answer_VM(), I ran into a similar problem before and najain was kind enough to provide the snippet of code to help implement this: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1151726#1151726
