you want the VM to be the first to be started. (We use the reverse startup
order for shutdown, so a machine with a start order of 1 would be the last to
be shut down). If multiple VMs have the same order defined on a host, they will

* *Startup delay*: Defines the interval between this VM start and subsequent
VMs starts . E.g. set it to 240 if you want to wait 240 seconds before starting
other VMs.
* *Shutdown timeout*: Defines the duration in seconds {pve} should wait
for the VM to be offline after issuing a shutdown command.
By default this value is set to 180, which means that {pve} will issue a
-shutdown request, wait 180 seconds for the machine to be offline. If, after
-this timeout, the machine is still online it will be tried to forcefully stop

NOTE: VMs managed by the HA stack do not follow the 'start on boot' and
