Power on Virtual Machine Action

To start one or more virtual machines that are in a powered off state, use the Power On VM action. You power on a virtual machine so that you can shift resources. For example, power on a machine so that you can use it, run applications, or verify that actions that were run on already powered down machines contribute to improved performance.

How the Action Works

The Power On VM action powers on virtual machines that are powered off. The action does not affect virtual machines that are currently powered on.
If the target virtual machine is already powered on, the task status reports success for the machine even though the state of the virtual machine did not change.
