Predefined Take Action commands

The Monitoring Agent for VMware VI provides a set of basic Take Action commands for VMware Virtual Infrastructure.

PowerOnVM
This action attempts to power on a virtual machine. Two parameters are required for this action: the host name of the ESX server and the name of the virtual machine (the display name, not the virtual machine host name).
PowerOffVM
This action attempts to power off a virtual machine. Two parameters are required for this action: the host name of the ESX server and the name of the virtual machine (the display name, not the virtual machine host name).

The results of the Take Action commands are displayed in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal window.
