Virtual machine Startup/Shutdown

[ArielStu]

Regarding the definitions:    For each virtual machine, delay  Startup for:                AND                     For each virtual machine, delay  Shutdown for 

i saw  the Shutdown was done in parallel, i mean it  did shutdown all machines the same time, 

but on  the startup  it waited the time defined in the  field:   " For each virtual machine, delay  Startup for"   and opened one at the time

i wrote in both fields  statup and Shutdown    30 seconds,    and when the Host rebooted,  many Exchange server services set to Automatic did not open,

could this be because the 30 seconds wasn't enough to close the Exchange server properly  ?

Thanks

If you are using your host for hosting critical services, set the time to more than 10 minutes.

Because they need to close process and close files.

Also the time is a delay for your services and host allows them to safe shutdown. About shutdown and startup, shutdown process is a sending signal to VMware tools but startup process and powering up VMs is a different process and virtual machines should be registered to your host and may be your host or vCenter can't do that parallel.
