Elements

Element	Type	Required	Modifiable	Since	Description
BootDelay	long	No	always	21.0	Number of milliseconds to wait between powering-on and booting this virtual machine. Defaults to 0. Maximum permissible value is 10000 milliseconds.
BootRetryDelay	long	No	always	37.1	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.
BootRetryEnabled	boolean	No	always	37.1	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.
EfiSecureBootEnabled	boolean	No	always	37.1	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
EnterBIOSSetup	boolean	No	always	21.0	Set to true to force this virtual machine to enter BIOS setup mode when rebooted. This value is reset to false after the next reboot.
Link	LinkType	No	none	21.0	A reference to an entity or operation associated with this object.
NetworkBootProtocol	string	No	always	37.1	Protocol to attempt during PXE network boot or NetBoot.
VCloudExtension	VCloudExtensionType	No	always	21.0	An optional extension element that can contain an arbitrary number of elements and attributes. Not related to extension services.
