After running updates in XenServer 6.5 I noticed that some virtual machines that were recently turned off started turning on again automatically after the server I applied updates to restarted.
When I go to apply updates through xen center I get the following notification and have to disable before I can proceed:
I'd like to disable this altogether. I've also disabled high availability temporarily hoping this would do the trick but it has not.
Any suggestions/assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Re-enable HA put off the autostart on the VM, and disable HA after. HA is off at one of my customer, and HA still pop'ed two VM up last shutdown, so I remarked that the setting was still on/active somehow on the host.
To show where it's please see the below picture, HA is off but the restart policy is at on. That VM will restart if the host will shutdown, but will not move as the heartbeat is not active. As you can see I can't change the setting as HA is off.
