[pfSense] Autostart
I know pfsense will autoboot when power is turned on but in vmware it doesn't seem to be the case. We just lost power at home and pfsense never came back up until I connected to vmware to turn the virtual system back on. Is there a way to autostart on occasions like this when we loose power? A step by step would be VERY appreciated. I'm not very fluent in vmware and its use. Still haven't been able to get it to work with a new network card I added to the machine. Someone suggested I check to see if the bios recognizes it. Not even sure were that option is. I have a dell poweredge 2850. ___ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list

Under your ESXi host's configuration tab, there a Virtual Machine Startup/Shutdown section that you can use to set various VMs to start up automatically on boot. ___ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list

You can set delays. I use this for my VMs that have host folders for others and they stage the boots by seconds or minutes depending on the size of the drives in those VMs. It’s very helpful. Check under Host Preferences, if you need more detailed information let me know and I’ll look tomorrow when I get into work. — Ryan On Oct 2, 2014, at 11:35, Brian Caouette bri...@dlois.com wrote: I know pfsense will autoboot when power is turned on but in vmware it doesn't seem to be the case.
