Description
The guest operating system is placed on standby.
Then, the vm.guess.guessState is shown as "notRunning" although the VM is on.
I would like to know how to change the power management related to this standby mode, using pyVmomi.
Following the link below I can do it manually.
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-879FA851-2B24-49E6-B58F-F25D0E923D17.html
The question is, which method of the pyVmomi API allows me to apply this setup to several VMs automatically?
Thanks.
