Thanks I'll check that out it looks like a real time safer but won't that just help me find the vCO code to shutdwn a vm? I was more wondering about how to handle the logic about knowing which to shutdown first and correspendly which to start first
The autostart order set on the hosts might be worth looking at but how would I handle the case where the vm's are not on the same host?
Is there a way to link vm's in a dependency so that if vm B is issued with a shutdown the system knows to take vm C down first and not have to worry about the logic at the wokflow level at all?
