I'm 100% virtual... from both a practical and ideological perspective. By which I mean, if I'm writing a book on SRM it's too much to have to think about how SRM will interact with physicals... except to pause the plan whilst something happens in the physical world. I have done a little work on how to call PowerCLI scripts from with the recovery plans themselves - to change settings on VMs - such as reducing their RAM configuration or change their IP address using netsh... As for triggering SRM events with PowerCLI - there's no API or SDK model to that yet - but VMware are planning cmdlets for SRM for the next release... Beta programme opens in a couple of months time... Not really. I’m 100% virtual… from both a practical and ideological perspective.

Hi Mike,
have you ever used PowerCli to recover or to automate steps for physical servers, i.e, you invoke SRM to recovery the prod site that in it’s majority is based around virtual machines, but some are physical servers.
