It isn't the best option, but it may very well be the only option for what you want to do.VSphere was launched by VMware in an effort to consolidate physical server groups into virtualized ones. I would have your battery backups or whatever you're using, send an alert to your vCenter to trigger a power down script. If the VMs are already running, who cares? The script would move to the next VM. That script will power on your VMs in whatever order you want and such. That script runs when the vCenter is powered on, but with a delay to get vCenter started.
Start DB first, wait, power on vCenter.įrom there, have a startup script on vCenter. Now, from there, on the host that that/those VMs are pinned to, create the power on rules in the configuration section in the gui. Pin your vCenter and DB server to a single host via a SHOULD rule. This is going to sound hackish, because it is, but here is what I would do: This isn't a perfect solution, but the simple fact of the matter is that there is no real good way to do this in a cluster.
