How to set up so that VMs automatically starts when the host reboot?

We lost power this morning and all 4 ESX hosts are down.  When the power is back, we observe that VM is not started automatically.

We find we have not enabled 'start and stop Virtual Machines with the system.  In this way, we have allowed it.

We'd like to know, is it necessary to move all virtual machines (those we would like to bring start automatically when the host is in place) "Manual start" to "any order"?

In addition, as the setting is on each ESX host, will be the setting (i.e. automatic start in any order) for a particular virtual machine carried over to another ESX host if it is has been vMotioned?

Thank you

(1) Yes, it applies for each host and is not shared between all the other hosts and is disabled by default. You must activate it by going to configuration tab look for 'Machine virtual start/stop' to activate and set the priority/delay for your virtual machines

(2) personally, I don't use this feature, it could be the case that the default update the settings back... it would be surprising if that were the case, I re - activate and try to stop or restart and see if that is the case. If it's the latter, I would file a ticket with VMware if you have a support contract

(3) No, if everything is configured correctly and the change of the start/stop is retained through reboots, they should automatically turn on virtual machines in the list that you specified.

  • LR6 will not automatically start when the memory card is inserted

    Hello

    Recently upgraded to LR6 from LR 5.7.1. When LR 5.7.1 was installed, it would automatically start when the memory card is inserted. With only LR6 installed it does not open when the memory card has been inserted.

    I "see the import dialog when a memory card is detected."

    I have LR installed 6.0.1.

    When the memory card is inserted, you receive the following error message:

    If I right click on the disk memory and select Auto Open play, a list of programs appear particularly LR. The program is highlighted is

    If I click on LR in the list above, I encounter error "Application not found".

    When I manually start LR6, it works and I can manually import from memory card.

    What can I do to fix this?

    Thank you

    Yes, Autoplay is still trying to run LR5.

  • How to set preferences so that open new tabs to the same page that activates when the command-T has been affected?

    By opening a new tab, the default tab opens to thumbnails based on recent history. The Safari, I want the new tab to open * to the same page, as was active when command-T was hit *. What are the specific actions, to set the default value (preference), new pages to open 'same page '? ('Same page' is check in Safari preferences box).

    Note, I've sailed available Support of Mozilla and using about: config have reset browser.newtab.url so that the new tab appears empty (stop followed recent history for this purpose).

    Note, most importantly, I found this article of Support Forum, which, although written challenge, gave me a temporary solution:

      * https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/891635
    

    (The temporary solution for the Mac OS is to command-click the icon 'Reload current page' in the url/address box in the browser toolbar, which opens a new tab in the same window).

    However, I would like to define this as a preference permanent and would ask someone give me a solution. Cheers, teacher

    LeProf_7272 wrote:

    if I can possibly just create a new config line
    

    You can't, that's why I suggested the modules above. There is no option in the user interface or preferably hidden in Firefox that can duplicate a tab whenever you open a new tab browser.newtab.url can only be set to a fixed address, what address is to be opened in the current tab.

    Are the only two built-in methods to duplicate a tab:

    1. Hold down the Option key and drag the tab to a new position on the tab bar.
    2. Hold down the command key and click the reload of the address bar.

  • How can I fix computer that does not start after the fan turns phase?

    I have a Compaq Presario SR5510F PC, Windows Vista Home Premium, AMD Athlon x 2. Lately, my computer is even worse at the start. When my computer starts, the fan should run for a few seconds, then it should stop and lead at the start with Compaq logo screen. But lately, the startup was completely terrible for my computer. Today, most of the time when I press the button in the box of the computer, the fan turns on and it continues to turn, and nothing comes on the screen. It isn't that rarely when the fan stops running, but then the monitor displays always upwards in white and VERY rarely when the startup screen appears, then it freezes on this screen. At this rate, my computer is totally useless when it does nothing but run his fan. This means that I can not go to boot options at all and go to the "last good configuration". What can I do to fix the computer when I can't have anything with her while she is empty?

    It sounds like a hardware problem, not a software problem.  If the computer rarely gets past the BIOS (material audit) stage of the startup sequence, then Windows is is not yet involved in the boot process again.  Request assistance from someone trained in the skills of troubleshooting hardware since this can become very expensive very quickly.

  • Shared VMs fail to start when the computer reboots.

    I have a script that uses vmrun to suspend all VMs running when my Windows 8 Pro PC is shut down.  He paused the VMs correctly, however, the virtual machines shared that I set to auto-start does not auto-start.  I'm starting to wonder if I need to create a startup script similar to ensure that the departure of VMs correctly as well.

    This is the latest version of VMWare Workstation 9.0.1 build-894247.  Windows 8 regularly tells me that I have to reinstall VMWare Workstation to run.  Now, I did several times with no improvement.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I really want to try to migrate out of Hyper-V or an alternative of virtualation since I am always very happy with VMWare.

    Hi k4gdw,

    We recently found a problem that occurs when a host is upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8 while VMware Workstation is installed.  If this describes your situation, you can try to work around the problem if you are in a few registry changes on the host... (as always, be careful when you edit the registry!)

    (The instructions are for the 64 bit version of Windows. For 32 bit, it is similar, except that there is no key Wow6432Node.)

    1. open regedit (Start button + r, or search for apps for 'regedit')
    2. navigate in the tree to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Wow6432Node > VMware, Inc. > VMware Workstation > volatile > IsFirstRun.
    3. right click on the key to IsFirstRun , and select Remove.

    Quit regedit.  Restart your host and VMs Autostart should then begin.

    Please let us know if that solves the problem for you!  We are preparing a Knowledge Base article and published a fix for future work stations.

    See you soon,.

    How can I get my computer to automatically connect to the internet? Currently, I have to press Fn F1 to activate the WLAN - not something huge, but a tad boring. Another computer on the same network will connect automatically in setting in motion.

    It is a 'feature' of the particular computer you are using. Take a look at the manual; It may be a setting in the BIOS to turn on the wireless on startup.
