[ovirt-users] Re: [ANN] oVirt 4.3.6 is now generally available

jvdwege(a)xs4all.nl writes: Yeah. I've got a startup script that I use to start all my VMs (see below). I'll need to figure out how to migrate that script to SDK4. It really sucks that there's no SDK4 version of ovirt-shell. I suspect my script will expand by an order of magnitude, and everyone who has written a script around ovirt-shell will have to duplicate effort. I know there is a feature for the engine to autostart VMs (which I believe will be in 4.4), but AFAIK it doesn't do ordering. I need at least one specific VM to start up before everything else.
