Hello all,
I wanted to draw your attention to a very interesting blog a co-worker has written about using PowerCLI and SRM to fail desktops over in a crisis. This is a very interesting use of both SRM and PowerCLI. Currently SRM cannot protect View desktops but Alan has shown how it can be done with an interesting design and use of PowerCLI.
Check it out here – http://www.virtu-al.net/2011/06/07/failover-of-persistent-desktops-using-srm-and-view-4-6/
I have in the past done several blogs that should help you out with scripting and SRM, and hopefully you will see more in the future.
Getting started with SRM and scripting – /uptime/2010/09/vmware-vcenter-site-recovery-manager-and-scripting-.html
Can a script stop a recovery plan – /uptime/2010/08/can-a-script-or-message-call-out-stop-a-recovery-plan-and-a-little-bit-more.html
I think that PowerCLI is one of the best tools for scripting with SRM and you can get some help with that at http://www.simple-talk.com/sysadmin/virtualization/10-steps-to-kick-start-your-vmware-automation-with-powercli/ .
Have a great day!
Michael
