Steps 1 through 4 of " To configure guest virtual machines (VM) to shut down with the host" are easy but I have no idea how to do steps 5 and 6. Also, the whole "To configure guest VMs for manual startup" section is confusing. Why do we want to move the VMs and even if I did, I don't have any idea how to do step 3. Thanks,
