      Question, will XCP-ng save the state of the running VMs and restart all of them (some I have Auto power on enabled) or do I have to stop them manually?

        Hi,

        So it seems you are in a case you don't have a pool to avoid a VM reboot with your host reboot.

        In that case, you need to have auto power on enabled to make sure after host reboot, they all start.

          @olivierlambert Sorry it I did not explain it well, what I wanted to know is, after a patch update, I get the message:

          and I have 14 VMs running:

          If I do the reboot, will XCP-ng save the State and Restore or Shutdown the VMs? I was hoping it would save the State and Restore like you can with KVM.

            There is this option under pool - patches for rolling pool update. This will migrate all vms off first host apply patches reboot host and migrate all vms to host 1 and apply patches to host 2 and reboot.

            Since you have too host put host 1 into maintenance mode to put all vms on host 2 and reboot host 1 and then repeat.

              @acebmxer the two hosts are Masters, probably each in a pool.

              All VMs with AUTO START enabled will start. even if you have some manually shutdown. the host do not care of previous running type, when rebooting and going online, it will start VMs qith autostart enabled (and pool enabled)

                  Those without Autostart enabled will after host restart, if not migrated, be in a shutdown state requiring manual startup again.
