In the 400,000-user enterprise on-premises scenario based on VMware+COTS, some VMs fail to boot or automatically load the boot file after being powered on. However, if I press Enter on the VM console, the VMs successfully load the boot file and the processes are properly started.
The possible causes are 1) The configuration data is added at a late time and the VMs fail to read the configuration data during startup. 2) The MAC addresses of the VMs in the configuration data are different from the actual ones.
To resolve this issue, enable the VMs to reset after a specified period when they fail to find the boot device.
- Right-click a VM and choose Edit Settings > Options > Boot Options.
- Select When the virtual machine fails to find boot device, automatically retry boot after 10 seconds
