Once you’re into the host computer using ssh access, first you have to find out if autostart is enabled or not, using this command:
~ # grep -i enable /etc/vmware/hostd/vmAutoStart.xml
If the output is nothing, it means that autostart is not enabled. So using vi editor, you’re going to edit the next file:
~ # vi /etc/vmware/hostd/vmAutoStart.xml
After the sixth line of this file just add the next line:
<enabled>true</enabled>
Then save the changes and autostart has been enabled.
