How to schedule a VM power state with AHV

I will looking to migrate from VMware to AHV in the next few weeks.



As I understand it, it is not possible to schedule the state of a VM say for Shutdown or Power On, as you can do in VMware.



Is there a workaround and is this on the roadmap?

Is this still the case?

Is this still the case, there is no automated way in Prism to schedule a task like VMware vCenter?
Nope, it does not.

You will have two choices:


  1. Create PowerShell script/one-liner and put it into schedule on some windows box
  2. Create Bash script/one-liner and put it into CVM cron schedule


thanks
Hi Artur,



So in vSphere right now there is an option to create throught the vCenter GUI a Scheduled Task (Change the power state of a VM, Clone a VM, Create a Vm etc).



The main use of Scheduled Tasks for me is to shutdown and then after a short delay, power a series of VMs back up.



Does AHV support such a feature?
Hi ice



Can you elaborate more what exactly you meant by "schedule VM power state".



thanks

Artur
