Set DPM and Enable it with vCenter Scheduled Task

Here is a blog post I put together on setting up VMware DPM and then enabling (and disabling) it with a vCenter Scheduled Task - http://www.vhersey.com/2011/08/setting-up-dpm-and-using-vcenter-scheduled-task-to-turn-dpm-off-and-on

VMware Power Management or Distributed Power Management (DPM) powers down hosts when resources are not needed and powers the host on as the demand for resources increases. This feature has the potential to provide significant savings in power and cooling especially in a large cluster.

Have a great weekend.
