We have autostart issues on two Dell Poweredge R740 servers.
We run ESXi free on both of the hosts, no VM is configured with more than 8 vCPUs and the host has 32 vCPUs in total.
We do not use any unlicensed features what I know of.
When rebooting the hosts none of the windows VMs on the servers autostart because of licensing restrictions on the server. Linux OS boots up nicely however.
We try to assign a Essentials Plus license and the problem remains, the only thing that helps is to install a Enterprise Plus license, then all the VMs autostart as they should.
The only thing I can think of that is a bit special about these hosts are the persistent memory that 2 of the Windows VMs are using on the two hosts, but I can see nowhere that persistent memory requires a enterprise plus license.
Has anyone got an idea what could be wrong or how I am going to troubleshoot this?
