Do you have a LeftHand Networks VSA or are you using LeftHand’s VSA for demoing purposes? Would you like your ESX to shutdown faster, and in fact when it starts up to have the VSA started, and then have the VM’s held on the VSA to be automatically started?
If you have a VSA now, while it may auto start, the VM’s on it will not. Plus, your ESX host shutdown will take longer than normal. All of this can be addressed by a great script that LeftHand’s Product Manager Adam C. has posted on the LeftHand Community forums.
