Hi, I know that if a VPG contains multiple VMs, you can set a startup order. I have 11 VPGs each containing a single VM. Can I failover these VPGs in a particular order?
When using the GUI, I do not believe there is a way to do that (disclaimer: I’m running 3.5u7 not the newly released v4). However if you script your VPG failovers using the Zerto cmdlts, I don’t see why you couldn’t have logic to do what you’re trying to do, but I’ve never tried it myself.
Use a script like my example here:

Create a boot delay on the first boot folder on each VPG so that you can select to failover all at once and each will start the VMs after the set time delay.
We plan to further address this use case in the GUI with a recovery plan feature in the future. Any further questions let me know. Thanks,
Hi Joshua, I tried creating the boot delay on the default folder on each VPG. The first VPG had zero seconds delay, the 2nd VPG had a 30 second delay. I failed them both over at once, but they both powered on at the same time.
