CloudLink prestartup authorization
Prestartup authorization of CloudLink Center machines applies to only Enterprise and Microsoft Azure and Azure Stack.
Pre-startup authorization enables a machine to start up automatically when:
- The machine has been previously registered with CloudLink Center and can connect to it.
- The boot volume of a machine is encrypted, and the machine meets key release policies for boot volume encryption. For more information, see CloudLink key release policies.
NOTE:If the boot volume of a machine is not encrypted, but one or more data volumes are encrypted, the machine is allowed to start. CloudLink Center determines whether encryption keys for encrypted data volumes can be released automatically based on key release policies. If key release policies are not met for the data volume, CloudLink Center puts the machine in the pending state.
If a machine does not pass prestartup authorization, CloudLink Center puts the machine in the pending state and you must explicitly accept the machine before startup is allowed to continue.
