Replicating and failing over VMs

When you automate the replication and failover of virtual machines, you will need to make a change to the config file if you dont want to answer a question per-VM on failover because the UUID changed in the new environment.

In order to automate this process, when you build a VM edit the vmx file to include:

uuid.action = "keep"

This will keep ESX from asking a question on whether or not you want to change the UUID.
