rdp & auto restart

[Andy37]

Hi,
I installed ESXi on my server and my VM created is working on the network, everything ok.

But I have two problems that I don't understand how to solve:
- I am unable to access the VM via RDP from a LAN's pc (I always have to go through esxi)
- if the power fails the VM shuts down and does not restart

Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks

if yes you need to connect 2nd nic and provide same IP range as LAN PC have

are you able to ping vm from LAN PC

1. You have to configure the Network and Firewall within your Windows GuestOS.  In the same way as with a phys. OSI.  Assumed that you have configured your VM with a vNetwork card and enable it.

2. There is a Autostart/Stop VM option which let you specified which VMs starts automaticly in which order. You need to enable it.

Hi,

I'm using ESXi 8, I set an automatic restart with a 60 second delay, but the VM doesn't start. I always have to restart it manually. What am I doing wrong?

 

thank you

You have enble the feature and than configure the feature right?

Hi,
I right clicked on the VM and choose enable.
Then, configured the seconds. I don't see anything else.

In fact, if I right click on the VM, I now see "disable".
So, it's active.

Does something that I have a free license have to do with it?
I registered as a company and got the key which I then entered in esxi.

Thank you

Hi,

Chech if Vm is reacheble from your local PC and you have enabled the RDP on your windows machine.

Please check below document to configure autostart of VM with the system:
