Re: How to shutdown VMs during host poweroff, without using autostart

Thanks, but your description of the UI does not match my web client.

Using ESXi 6.7 free, as a standalone host obviously, in the web client under host I see manage.

Then, I see the system tab, with an autostart section in that.

This is where I would assume you are referring to, however if autostart is not enabled for a VM, the VM is simply powered off when the host powers off, and ignores my stop action.

See UI below:

How do I configure this, so that VMs will shutdown gracefully with the host, but not auto power on with the host?

Thanks
