The Effective.FailureAction structure contains fields that describe the actions to be taken when entering maintenance mode fails on a single host within the cluster.
The Effective.EffectivePolicySpec.PreRemediationPowerAction enumerated type defines the possible actions to be taken, before entering maintenance mode.
POWER_OFF_VMS : Power off VMs before entering maintenance mode.
SUSPEND_VMS : Suspend VMs before entering maintenance mode
DO_NOT_CHANGE_VMS_POWER_STATE : Do not change the VM power state
SUSPEND_VMS_TO_MEMORY : Suspend VMs to Memory before entering maintenance mode
Enable Quick Boot during remediation in the cluster.
Disable DPM on the cluster.
Disable HA Admission control on the cluster.
Evacuate powered off/suspended VMs when attempting maintenance mode.
Enforce Hcl validation, when applicable, to prevent remediation if hardware compatibility issues are found. This field is optional because it was added in a newer version than its parent node.
parallel_remediation_action
Enforce quick patch on the cluster for images that support it. This field is optional because it was added in a newer version than its parent node.
This specification defines the settings to manage the com.vmware.esx.settings.clusters.Configuration.apply API behaviour.
