esxi vmware auto start

[bennuss1]

I am running the debian version of 3cx on vmware . the only issue i have is if the server goes down the auto restart that works well with any windows vm or a regular linux vm doesnt work. Is there some modification or setting that i need to do to get it to work?

I have Autostart running for 5 VMs including 2 SBCs and it works well

You should be able to. Just SSH into it and run "apt install open-vm-tools" then reboot the VM. It will help a lot to make the ESXi work great with it.

What version of ESXi are you running too?

What version of ESXi do you use and what is the config for the Autostart?

Send me a screenshot please. If by default, VMs start 120seconds after the system is booted.

apt-get install open-vm-tools

To Install VMWare Tools, SSH into to VM and run this command as root
