[Users] Auto-start vms on boot?

[Adrian Gibanel]

My use case is that I just don't want to start manually the virtual machines when the host starts and, also, if the host is shutdown it should guest-shutdown the virtual machines.

Any doc on that pin option? How one is supposed to pin a virtual machine to a host?

Thank you.
