ScaleIO and vSphere's DPM

Morning Everyone!

I'm new to the community and ScaleIO in general. First things first though, let me say a loud Hello! to all the members and contributors.

Just wanted to ask if anyone had a chance to use Distributed Power Management with ScaleIO, and how to put it together? I have 30+ blades with 3x SSD (DAS) that I want to utilize with ScaleIO. However, keeping them ESXi hosts in standby affects my storage pools. Do you guys have any pro tips I could use in this scenario?
