You can use the delay options to specify a time interval
during which you can enter the virtual machine BIOS setup.
These options provide a solution for the situation that occurs
when the console attaches to the virtual machine after
the boot sequence has passed the BIOS setup entry point.

Description
|
| bootDelay | xsd:long |
Delay in milliseconds before starting the boot sequence.
The boot delay specifies a time interval between virtual machine
power on or restart and the beginning of the boot sequence.
|
| bootOrder | VirtualMachineBootOptionsBootableDevice[] |
Boot order. Listed devices are used for booting. After list
is exhausted, default BIOS boot device algorithm is used for
booting.
Note that order of the entries in the list is important:
device listed first is used for boot first, if that one
fails second entry is used, and so on.
Platform may have some internal limit on the number of devices
it supports. If bootable device is not reached before platform's
limit is hit, boot will fail. At least single entry is supported
by all products supporting boot order settings.
Since vSphere API 5.0
|
| bootRetryDelay | xsd:long |
Delay in milliseconds before a boot retry. The boot retry delay
specifies a time interval between virtual machine boot failure
and the subsequent attempt to boot again. The virtual machine
uses this value only if bootRetryEnabled is true.
Since vSphere API 4.1
|
| bootRetryEnabled | xsd:boolean |
If set to true, a virtual machine that fails
to boot will try again after the bootRetryDelay
time period has expired. When false,
the virtual machine waits indefinitely for you to initiate
boot retry.
Since vSphere API 4.1
|
| enterBIOSSetup | xsd:boolean |
If set to true, the virtual machine
automatically enters BIOS setup the next time it boots.
The virtual machine resets this flag to false
so that subsequent boots proceed normally.
