powermanagement cluster

[RobMokkink]

I am testing met DPM. But it want to be able to set the DPM settings to Off and Automatic and power on esx hosts, because DPM doesn't have a scheduler and we want our comple cluster to be up and running during business hours.

I am browing the SDK but i can't find a way to configure the DPM settings.

Rob, you can configure the DPM settings via the ReconfigureComputeResource_Task method.

The cluster DPM settings are defined in the ClusterDpmConfigInfo object.

In the array with ClusterDpmHostConfigSpec objects you can configure the per host DPM settings.

A short example

$clus = Get-Cluster <cluster-name> | Get-View

$spec = New-Object vmware.Vim.ClusterConfigSpecEx
$spec.dpmConfig = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterDpmConfigInfo
$spec.DpmConfig.DefaultDpmBehavior = "automated"
$spec.DpmConfig.Enabled = $true

$clus.ReconfigureComputeResource_Task($spec, $true)
