TrueNAS SCALE + Passphrase Encrypted Dataset + VM Autostart?

TrueNAS General

Hello,

if Virtual Machines are located on a passphrase encrypted Dataset on TrueNAS SCALE, how will the system behave on startup if the Dataset was not unlocked, yet, and the VMs are configured for Autostart?

Will TrueNAS report an error?
Will TrueNAS automatically start the VMs as soon as the Dataset is unlocked?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Thomas

For CORE there is the information “To start a VM when the host system boots, set Autostart. If Autostart is set and the VM is in an encrypted, locked pool, the VM starts when the pool is unlocked.” (source: TrueNAS 11.3-U2 User Guide).

Is the behavior the same for SCALE? I was not able to find a similar statement in the SCALE documentation.
