For OVA deployments not using Solution Deployment Manager, you must configure all the Avaya Breeze® platform virtual machines to start automatically after the vSphere ESXi host starts.
For Solution Deployment Manager deployment, automatic startup configuration is part of the VM deployment, you do not need to configure the virtual machine automatic startup settings.
In high availability (HA) clusters, the VMware HA software ignores the startup selections.
It is recommended to have a 5 minute delay between the startup of each of the servers.
