笔者新装了几台ESXi的主机, 其中一台上面运行着一台安装了vCenter的虚拟机.  笔者一路默认, 也没改什么设置. 在试图解决其他问题的过程中, 笔者重启了ESXi. 后来发现vCente登不进去了.

一看, 发现vCenter的虚拟机竟然没有随主机一同启动.

查找了一下, 才知道怎么配.

ESX 4.x and ESXi 5.x

Access the settings:

1. Give focus to the host in vCenter.
2. Select the Configuration tab.
3. Select Virtual Machine Startup / Shutdown under Software.
4. Click Properties in the upper right hand side of the window.

搞定.
