ESX 4.1 - How do I enable auto-power on of VM Hosts?

TAZG Sep 1, 2010 11:34 AM

Hello there,

I can't seem to locate the area where to enable a VM to automatically power on when the ESX host itself is powered on. Could somebody please let me know where this is at? I thought it was in the Edit Settings -> Options on vSphere, however, I don't see it there at all.

I'm using ESX 4.1

Thanks in advance!

There is no tab called Configuration unfortunately, Just "Getting Started, Summary, Resource Allocation, Performance, Events, Console, Permissions". No configuration tab exists.

Could you please double-check?

Ahh I was looking in the VM, not the HOST.

Thanks for the answer and screenshot, I appreciate it!!
