Autostart in Vsphere 6.5 not working

[elmexUbi]

Hello!

I am using HTML client for managing VMware ESXi 6.5ui host and i'm trying to enable the Autostart feature.

For this, i have done the following this:

1. Under the option Host -> Manager -> Autostart, i have enabled the autostart feature.
2. Also enabled the Autostart feature by right clicking the VM.

I am using the dell customized 6.5 ISO on a DELL r710.

My issue ist that only one of the two existing VMs will start automaticially, no matter what i do. The second VM has to be started manually.

I have absolutely no idea what causes this and any help is appreciated.
