  • 1.  Force a VM to enter BIOS setup screen on Power ON

    Hi,

    I am trying to develop a script that can create VMs in bulk which are of customised configuration. Now I also want to force VM to enter BIOS setup when  Powered ON.

    The command Set-VMBiosSetup is not recognised in PowerCLI 4.1. Need to know which command can be used to achieve above mentioned setting.

    Can we use Set-VMStartPolicy ?

    I'm afraid that is not an option with the Set-VMStartPolicy cmdlet.

    But have a look at Force a VM to enter BIOS setup screen on next reboot

    Thanks Lucd,

    I had referred the code mentioned on the link provided by you before posting my query here. The code mentioned there had to be tweaked further to achieve the task.
