Automate the deployment of IO Workload VMs which can be used with the IO Analyzer fling to test storage performance.  If the IO Template is captured with the auto-login property set then this can completely automate the deployment of an IO Analyzer test environment, https://labs.vmware.com/flings/io-analyzer.

1. Open a Terminal on the I/O Analyzer worker VM and run the following command: sed -i 's/AUTOLOGIN=""/AUTOLOGIN="root"/g' /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager
2. Verify Auto-login by running the following command: cat /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager | grep ‘AUTOLOGIN’
3. Expect to see AUTOLOGIN="root"
4. Verify Auto-Login with a reboot
