Powering a Virtual Application On or Off
You can use the
PowerOnVApp_Task
method to power on a VirtualApp
object. This method starts the virtual machines or child virtual applications in the order specified in the virtual application configuration.While a virtual application is starting, all power operations performed on subentities are disabled.
If a virtual machine in a virtual application fails to start, an exception is returned and the power-on sequence terminates. In case of a failure, virtual machines that are already started remain powered on.
You can use the
PowerOffVApp_Task
method to power off a virtual application. This method stops the virtual machines or child virtual applications in the order specified in the VirtualApp
object configuration if force
is false
. If force
is set to true
, this method stops all virtual machines (in no specific order and possibly in parallel) regardless of the VirtualApp
object auto-start configuration.While a virtual application is stopping, all power operations performed on subentities are disabled.
