Editing the Startup Sequence for Virtual Machines
To edit the startup sequence for virtual machines, click Edit under Startup Sequence.
The Virtual Machine Startup Sequence configuration page appears and displays the
virtual machines on your system.
To specify the startup order for the virtual machines on the host, select the check box
next to one or more machines. Once you select a virtual machine, navigation arrows
highlight, allowing you to move machines between the three lists. Virtual machines
can be set to one of the following options:
• Other — lists the virtual machines that are configured to use the default start
and stop policies when the system starts up and shuts down.
• Specified Order — lists the virtual machines in the order in which they are
configured to start. The order in which the virtual machines stop is the reverse of
the order in which they start, so the last virtual machine to start when the system
starts up is the first to stop when the system shuts down. To specify the startup
order, select machines and use the arrows to move them up or down within the
list.
• Any Order — lists the virtual machines that are configured to start and stop in
any order. Move virtual machines to this category if you want them to start and
stop with the system, but you do not want to set the order for them. The virtual
machines in this category do not start or stop until all the virtual machines listed
in the Specified Order list have started or stopped.
