ESXi Quickboot via API/H5/PowerCLI

It would be nice to be able to initiate a ‘quickboot’ manually (outside of the scope of VUM), via HTML5, PowerCLI, API etc..

Looks like a few people have asked about this:

Like the uservoice request says..

Would be nice to be able to do something like this via PowerCLI

get-vmhost <vmhostname> | restart-vmhost -quickboot

Workaround for vSphere 7 & 8 is to use the Custom ESXi "Dummy" Reboot VIB for vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM). I assume it would work with Quick Boot as well.

Here is the equivalent feature request for Quick Boot on the vSphere ideas / feature requests site.

It is labelled as planned.
