Is there a setting for auto start on the VMs on power failure?

[macpiano]

I was wondering if there is an auto power on when the server has no juice due to a power failure. I don't mean the actual physical vm server but the vm's themselves on the physical server. Power failures always occur when I get to a computer to vpn into the VCenter.

thanks

Yes, that is possible

- In the vSphere client, select the ESX/ESXi host,

- Go to the configuration tab.

- Select in the Software section, the option Virtual Machine Startup/Shutdown.

- Click on Properties at the right of the screen.

- Enable the option "Allow virtual machines to start and stop automatically with the system"

- Select the VM and move the VM in the correct startup group.

I attach some screenshots.




Regards / Saludos

Wow, thanks. So when I shutdown the VM server I don't have to go to each sever one by one and turn them off? Sweeeeeet.
