      Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to configure auto-start order of the virtual machines and set related delays. Something similar to this configuration available within an ESXi server:

      Regarding my tests and other post on this forum I got the impression that in a single-host environment (lab/test/home env.) it is not possible, that "Start delay (seconds)" option available on the VM´s Advanced tab has no effect in such case (It seems that the VM is started immediately after the host boots up, even if a delay is configured.).

      Did I miss something? Thanks a lot in advance for the explaining how this works with XCP-ng and Xen Orchestra.

        Hi,

        You can use delay or if you want specific order, you need to use vApp, that you can configure with the CLI. See https://docs.xcp-ng.org/appendix/cli_reference/#appliance-commands
