How to Boot a Virtual Machine on an ESX Server from CD-ROM ?

$

Hello,

 

I want a Virtual Machine (VM) to always boot from the CD-ROM.

I am able to set the boot options and set the CD-ROM as the first priority. However, when the VM boots, there is a 5-second window, which asks to send a keystroke to boot from the CD-ROM.

 

Using the vSphere Perl SDK, there is no way to send this keystroke (or is there ??)

 

How can this be achieved using only APIs and not actually going to the vSphere Client or Web Client to interact with the VM ?
