We design highly redundant Datacenters, Clusters, Storage Systems and even Networks, but in the end we still have some unplaned outages :\/<\/p>\n
This week we had a defect Memory DIMM that caused a PSOD on one ESXi Host. HA restarted the VMs fine, but we want to know quickly which VMs restarted.<\/p>\n
Check out a PowerCLI one liner to find the restarted VMs!<\/p>\n
