Figure 25. Adding a new VM to a Failover Cluster – Choose additional VM properties
The Additional Properties dialog allows you to control the actions VM will take when the virtual server
host starts and stops. The VM can automatically start and then automatically shut down when the
virtual server host shuts down. In this example, the VM is set so that it must be started manually after
the physical host starts. When the virtual server host stops, the VM will automatically save its state. The
Additional Properties dialog also gives you the option to override the settings for the guest operating
system. Click Next to display the final summary screen shown in Figure 26.
