Following a power failuire where all ESX hosts where powered off the VM's didn't seem to be powered back on in any specific order. I believe that HA restart priorities wouls not apply due to all hosts in the HA cluster going down and also the startup delays on each ESX didn't seem to take affect either. This was raised when I was unable to log onto Virtual Centre once I booted all ESX's back up, I later discovered that my Domain Controllers where the last VM's to be powered back on although they are actually configured with the lowest startup delay and high restart priority in HA. Any ideas?
Also, whilst in the subject off startup delay, I am unable to change the time, it shows in the activity panel as being configured but the time doesn't actually change.
All repsonces much appreciated
