    Posted Aug 09, 2023 12:55 PM

    I want to add a VM Y under the VM override of a cluster X and update the vSphere HA Additional delay value using power CLI commands

    I am new to such a configuration. Your answers will help a lot.

    Thanks in advance

    With the Set-VM cmdlet you can only set the restart priority afaik, not the delay.
    For that, you will need to use the ReconfigureComputeResource method.

    Something like this.
    Note that there shouldn't be a rule for that VM yet, otherwise, the call will fail.
