root@pam cannot edit any VMs options

[gorfou]

I was under the impression (and still am convince) that root@pam has the "administrator" role which is "do anything", yet it would be nice if I could make my VMs autostart in a predefine order.

I'm stuck with restarting VMs manually each time ProxMox is rebooted.

Yes, root user can edit anything.

Under the options tab for each VM you can find and options 'Start/Shutdown order' which control the start and shutdown order for a specific VM. Specific order comes before any order.

Thanks for your reply.

That is the thing, I am logged in as root@pam, but when I go to the Options tab of any VM or CT that I create with that user, the Edit button is greyed out.Is there someplace I can manually edit in the database or config files to fix this?

Thanks in advanced.

Edit: I just noticed that I cannot edit anything an any VMs (hardware, ...).

What happens if you double-click the corresponding config line?

 

[gorfou]

it works! Is this the normal behavior of the GUI?

Addendum: Ah, ok, I see. The edit button will enable itself when you click an item. I was under the impression that the edit button will open a window where you could edit all the options. I guess it is a paradygm imprinted in my brain by the vSphere client. I feel noob, which I am. Thanks for clearing this up for me.
