Start and Shut Down vApps
To start or shut down a vApp, use the Manage vApps dialog box, accessed from the Pool menu.
When you start a vApp, all the VMs within it are started up automatically in sequence. The start order and delay interval values specified for each individual VM control the startup sequence. You can set these values when you create the vApp and change them at any time from the vApp Properties dialog or from the individual VM Properties dialog.
For more information, see:
The shutdown order of VMs in a vApp is always the reverse of the configured start order.
