With PowerCLI change boot order

Hello

I have a project in which I need to force the vm to restart on the CD player.

Is it possible to change the order of boot with power CLI?

If not, is there a way I can do?

Thank you

I don't think you'd be able to do in PowerCLI.

If you do a lot of the simpler guests would be to change the order of boot on a guest.  From there if you copy the file .nvram from the browser to store data to the other guests this should work.

Do not think that it is supported, but it works.

    Hello, thierry_ma-

    Here, it is another way.  We wrote on this topic to vNugglets.com some time in the post of the change via PowerShell VM boot order .  I just checked that this method always works against a v5.1 environment.  You might have a look at this post.

    And, as noted at the bottom of this post, the virtual computer startup order in this way script setting seems to make such that that particular boot order VM may only be changed be script later.  So something to consider.

    In any case - how does do for you?

  • Change boot order

    Hello everyone.

    My first time on this forum.  If all goes well, I'm compatible with its label.  Please correct if I'm not.

    I'm trying to boot from an external hard drive (Seagate).  This drive has a LInux distro.  I use a HP-ProBook-4525 s with Windows 7 above.  For some reason, I am unable to access the Advanced page of the BIOS settings.  Therefore, I am unable to change the boot order.  I can't find this page in the development of POSITIONS.  I hit 'esc' and then use key F10 to access BIOS settup.  However, there is no window that I could find which allows me to change the order.

    I would appreciate help on this.

    Thank you

    Mark Allyn

    Hello again,

    Well, it turns out that I could fix it myself.  I did not understand how to interpret the BIOS window.  I finally understood what 'Legacy Boot Options' (or words to that effect) meant that I went to the page of the Bios settings.  The entries of the order appear if it highlights the grayed out "Legacy" entry.

    Sorry to waste people time.

    But I took the time to update my BIOS, and so there's some good that came out.

    See you soon,.

  • Pavilion dv7-3112: arrows does not work cannot change boot order

    Hi all

    Ive just bought a 2nd pavilion laptop in hand I can't reformat. My problem is the arrow keys of the keyboard, to the top to the bottom and right don't work only the arrow to the left. Someone else changed the boot order so I can't return it back to boot from the cd rom without arrows. As I am here in Australia I don't have access to the new keyboards. Can give you any advice. thnx in advance.

    Hello

    One option would be to temporarily connect a keyboard external usb.

    In addition, if you are trying to boot from an installation disc, I could do this via the Boot Manager menu, rather than set the boot priority in the bios menu because it is often ignored - you can do the following.

    Insert the installation disc and the laptop shutdown .

    Click next to the ESC key as soon as you press the power button to enter the Boot Menu, and then select the Boot Options Menu ( f9 ).

    Use the arrow keys to select the option of CDROM and press ENTER - if you are prompted to "Press any key to continue...". "- make.

    Kind regards

  • 5.3 recompose question - HD change boot order


    I recently inherited a VMware View 5.3 environment and I have a problem when I recompose systems.  Can I deploy a new virtual machine from a recent snapshot, but whenever I have to recompose computers startup changes of office the HD in the BIOS and the system will not start until I have manually change the order.   I tried to reconstruct the system to the previous snapshot and had the same problem.  Thoughts?

    I was tor able to solve the problem by removing the CD-ROM drive in the image of the mother and adding it back in.  He seems to have been a problem with an upgrade of virtual hardware that was made some time ago, but was never cleaned.   Once I added the new CDROM drive I took a new snapshot.  I had to remove workstations and reconstructed them with this new snapshot.  Once they have been rebuilt, I could recompose without any problem.

    Rather than change the boot priority in the bios menu, (HP portable computers often ignore this anyway), try the following method to boot from the CD.

    While the computer running, insert the CD, and then click stop the laptop.

    Click next to the ESC key as soon as you press the power button to enter the Boot Menu, and then select the Boot Options Menu ( f9 ).

  • IdeaPad U510 - change boot order

    Hello!

    I received a U510 for Christmas and I want to perform a new installation of Windows 8 via the USB port.

    Every time I restart the machine, the LENOVO screen, I press F12 but any bootmenu will appear. There's no option by entering the BIOS either.

    What can I do for the boot on USB? I tried F2, F10, F12... Please help!

    Never mind... I thought about it.

    I connected an external keyboard, active Legacy boot.

    F2 is BIOS

    F12 is the Start Menu.

    Help, please

    Hello

    Thank you for your response.

    I assume you mean operating system based on GNU/Linux. In this case, the situation is somewhat different.

    Well, as you know that we live in a world based on Windows (when it comes to personal computers) and most computers are designed with Microsoft and Windows in mind. That is why we (the users of Linux - I also use the operating system based on Linux on my home computer) may encounter some obstacles.

    I don't have any experience with your computer model but I did some research and I found a few articles - their steps can help make you default GRUB a (not OS boot loader). As you probably know, GRUB is loaded by default booting of Linux (Ubuntu), and if it's by default you will be able to control with it, what boots first and she will control the OS boot/choice/etc...  :

  • Re: Satellite A210-10 has, crashes when you change the boot order

    Hello

    I have a serious problem with my computer Toshiba laptop, Windows Vista 32-bit, clocked at 1.8 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, AMD Turion 64 x 2
    There is only a single disk partitioned into two drives of 75 GB (C and E).

    The problem is that whenever I enter the start menu (for boot from CD), or if I change in the BIOS boot order and restart, the computer hangs (power cut off suddenly).
    So the only way to recover, is to connect the AC/DC adapter, wait 5 minutes and repeat. Then, everything lights up normally or launches of Windows system recovery, after what he will restart and work very well.

    It would be important to know that I partitioned the drive to have 30 GB for installing Win7 later. The problem is that I've never tried to change the boot order before repartitioning, so I don't know if it has something to do with the problem or if it was there before.

    Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    > The problem is that whenever I enter the start menu (for boot from CD), or if I change in the BIOS boot order and restart, the computer hangs (power cut off suddenly).

    It seems that the issue related to the Bios. Have you tried to put update or reflash?

    Maybe this has happened before, but you don't check.

  • Want 700-092d: how to change the order of boot SATA on HP Envy 700?

    I have received warnings that my first HARD drive (SATA0 - 1 TB) is a failure.  I have a second HARD drive (SATA1 - 2 TB) up and running which I've used for the backup.  He had a lot of free space, so I partitioned and downloaded and installed a new operating system of Windows 8.1 on this new partition.  (The original factory o/s the SATA0 was Windows 8, which I was later upgraded to Windows 8.1).

    Immediately after the installation of this new system, I was able to restart the computer using the new o/s of the new partition, which it redesignated as c drive.  Startup, I got a blue screen menu asking which drive I wanted to boot from and I chose a new.  It was working fine and I was reinstalling my software on the new drive and I restored all my files of personal data on the new Norton rescue disk.

    However, in order to re - install the software elements, such as Corel Graphics, MalwareBytes, and Nitro Pro, I had to go back into the old operating system in order to load the programs installed and uninstall/remove, so that I can continue to use my registration on the newly downloaded and installed versions on the new HARD drive.  After having done that, I tried to reboot to the new HARD drive, but I am unable to do so.  The computer starts in the old system each time and there is no possibility to choose between hard drives.

    I was trying to change the boot order in the BIOS, but I can't find any option to choose between different SATAs.  There is only an option to choose between USB, CD and hard drive.  I tried using the legacy startup option, and then selecting SATA1 as boot drive, but then it says that it cannot find an operating system.  I guess that's because I use Windows 8.1 loaded on a system UEFI/GPT partition and that is not compatible with the use a legacy boot waiting and MBR System.

    Help!  How can I go is the choice of the drives on startup (as he did the first time) or defaults to SATA1 as the computer boot drive?

    Do not install programs on the failed hard drive installation files. They could very well be corrupted and damaged the BCD store for the new operating system.

    Remove the original hard drive and the new drive on its SATA connector.

    Changing start secure legacy was a bad idea. This has been known to corrupt data ona hard drive and make it inaccessible.

    You may need to use utility Windows Diskpart to clean the hard disk, create a new partition and reinstall Windows 8.1 him.

    I guess your Norton backup is on an external drive.

    You can start a command line installer for Windows 8.1 that you used to install the OS on the new drive.

    The type of command in Diskpartline.

    At the prompt, type in the volume list.

    Now you should see the new hard drive in the volume list.

    Type select volume x, where x is the callsign for the new hard drive.

    Type own. Which will return the drive to the CRUDE State.

    Type in output. Who will leave the Diskpart utility.

    Type exit to exit the command line.

    Now you can use the Setup program to install Windows 8.1 on the hard drive, or you can use your HP recovery media that you created from the original hard disk to install Windows 8.

  • TravelMate 2480. I can't change the boot order.

    Hello
    I thought I posted this before, but I can't find the post.
     
    I have two laptops from Acer 2480.
    2480-2943 and 2480-2247.
    The 2943 is my laptop everyday.
    I keep the 2247 as a backup.
    Both running XP Home.
    I used the 2247 to clone my desktop hard drive.
    I need to change the boot order so that I could reboot from the hard disk and not get hung up on the USB hard drive.
    I put it to boot from USB before Primory hard disk a few years so that I can boot from a USB key.
    In the BIOS, when I try to change the boot order by moving the internal hard drive upward, using the ' Shift + ' I hear a beep and nothing happens.
    I changed the front boot order but now I can't.
    There is no password.
    So I tried e the same on the 2943 and found I have the same problem with that.
    I changed the boot on this one before order.

    Any ideas?
    Joe

    Instead of pressing "Shift +" to change the position, use the arrow keys to highlight the item you want to move and press F6 or F7 to change the boot priority.
