Hi rmichan​

if you are not managing via vcenter you can configure by clicking virtual machines and select Actions and Enable AutoStart. You have to enable Autostart on Host --> Manage-> Actions-->Autostart as well.

Hello,

Are you using single host or host joined to a cluster ?

Does HA option enabled on this Cluster ?

Please advise,

Hello,

From the web client:

Hosts and Clusters > Select the host > Manage tab > Settings > VM Startup/Shutdown

Click on the Virtual Machines on the left panel, select a virtual machine on the right panel, right click on the virtual machine and on Autostart, click on Increase Priority or Decrease Priority. And make sure Autostart is enabled click on Manage on the left panel, and click on Autostart.
