Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for setting virtual machines (“VMs”) to desired configurations while the virtual machines are running. In one example, a user can select a VM and a desired configuration. An agent can then set an attribute of the virtual machine to indicate that on guest operation system (“OS”) reboot of the VM, the VM will enter BIOS mode. The agent can also store the desired configuration in the database based on authenticating the user. When the VM reboots at a future time, the attribute can cause the VM to enter BIOS setup. The agent can be notified and can retrieve the desired configuration from a database using an identifier for the VM. Then the agent can apply the desired configuration to the VM during BIOS setup with a system process that does not require further user authentication.

Abstract: Assessing the need for disaster recovery (DR) protection for a virtual application may include accessing resource consumption history for constituent VMs that support the virtual application. The resource consumption history may include usage metrics corresponding to resources used by each VM. A change in a cost of downtime of the given virtual application may be produced and used to assess criteria or rules. The given virtual application may be designated for DR protection based on an assessment of the criteria. DR protection may be activated for the designated virtual applications. The DR protection may automatically expire after a period of time.

Abstract translation: 评估虚拟应用程序对灾难恢复（DR）保护的需求可能包括访问支持虚拟应用程序的组成虚拟机的资源消耗历史。 资源消耗历史可以包括与每个VM使用的资源相对应的使用度量。 可以产生给定虚拟应用程序的停机成本的变化并用于评估标准或规则。 可以基于对标准的评估将给定的虚拟应用指定用于DR保护。 指定的虚拟应用程序可能会激活DR保护。 DR保护可能会在一段时间后自动过期。
