You can use the delay options to specify a time interval
during which you can enter the virtual machine BIOS setup.
These options provide a solution for the situation that occurs
when the console attaches to the virtual machine after
the boot sequence has passed the BIOS setup entry point.

Description
|
bootDelay | xsd:long |
Delay in milliseconds before starting the boot sequence.
The boot delay specifies a time interval between virtual machine
power on or restart and the beginning of the boot sequence.
|
bootRetryDelay | xsd:long |
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.
Since vSphere API 4.1
|
bootRetryEnabled | xsd:boolean |
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.
Since vSphere API 4.1
|
enterBIOSSetup | xsd:boolean |
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.
