Hi
Running ESXi 5.1 Update 1:
Looking for the definitive way of formatting the disk.terminateVMOnPDLDefault entry in the settings file. The VMWare KB simply says set it to true. Helpful. A number of blog posts and questions don't really help, and I simply don't have the time to go through all permutations.
So far I've seen:
disk.terminateVMOnPDLDefault=TRUE
disk.terminateVMOnPDLDefault="TRUE"
disk.terminateVMOnPDLDefault=true
disk.terminateVMOnPDLDefault="true"
disk.terminateVMOnPDLDefault="True"
Can anyone who has this working please let me know what the entry actually should be? How difficult is it to put an entry in a KB article to say -
"Add this to /etc/vmware/settings: disk.terminateVMOnPDLDefault=<whatever_format_it_should_be>" ?
For Info: If one of our SANs fails, I need all VMs on the affected hosts to shut down. No arguments, etc etc. Just shut down. I have the Misc.APD entries set, it worked once on a demo VM, but not on the production ones. Kind of urgent - customer wants an answer.
Many thanks
(sorry if I sound sharp - bit stressed!)
