Daily extract of Scheduled parking and Script to start VMs on predefined schedule during failure of turbo

Over the past 5–6 months, we have faced multiple issues with the Turbonomic UI, including connectivity problems, target failures, discovery failures, and instances where, after upgrades, Turbonomic did not provide details about VMs that are part of parking.

Due to these issues, on several occasions, our parked VMs did not start on time as per schedule. This has resulted in multiple P1 incidents being raised with the support team.

We are currently using Turbonomic parking for production VMs as well. If such issues occur again, we will not have visibility into the system during the failure, making it difficult to start VMs as per the defined schedule.

To mitigate this risk, we propose the following:

  • A daily extract of scheduled parking details.
  • A fallback script to start VMs based on a predefined schedule in case Turbonomic is unavailable.

This will enable the support team to manually execute the script and ensure that all VMs are started as per the schedule. Since we support multiple locations, VMs should not be started all at once but instead follow the same schedule defined in Turbonomic
