Suppose you add two entries to the configuration file of a virtual machine on your ESX server.autostart="TRUE".What happens to this virtual machine when the ESX Server is powered on?

A.
The ESX Server pauses for 30 seconds before powering on the virtual machine.

B.
The ESX Server loads the VMkernel, pauses for 30 seconds, then powers on the virtual machine.

C.
The virtual machine remains powered off until 30 seconds after the ESX Server has booted completely.

D.
The ESX Server powers on the virtual machine,then pauses for 30 seconds before continuing to the next virtual machine.

Explanation:

Ref:VMware knowledgebase"How to automate the process of starting and stopping virtual machines on ESX server"
To automatically start virtual machines, you need to add one of the following configuration options to the virtual machine’s configuration(.cfgor.vmx)file:
autostart=true
autostart=poweron
autostart=resume
The true and poweron settings are treated the same.
To stagger the startup of virtual machines, you may addt hefollowing option to each virtual machine’s configuration file:
autostart.delay=n
n is the number of seconds ESX Server waits after powering on this virtual machine beforei t proceeds to the next virtual machine.If you add he option autostartdelay=60, for example, ESX Server waits one minute after it starts this virtual machine before starting the next virtual machine.
