There was a discussion on this list a year or so ago about this. I
believe one of the developers responded that oVirt has no facility to
start VMs on a boot, and explained why....
I use the following 2 scripts to start VMs automatically when my AIO
host reboots for whatever reason. The Python script was grabbed from
somewhere on the net, I don't remember where anymore.
I run the first script out of cron every 15 minutes.
#!/bin/bash
VMSTART="vm1 vm2 vm...."
for vm in ${VMSTART}
do
echo "Do I need to start ${vm}"
/root/bin/vm_up ${vm}
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
TEXT="VM ${vm} needed starting"
echo "${TEXT}"
echo "${TEXT}" | mailx -s "${TEXT}" root(a)domain.com
fi
done
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys, string
from time import sleep
from ovirtsdk.api import API
from ovirtsdk.xml import params
VERSION = params.Version(major='3', minor='0')

CA_FILE = '/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem'
VM_NAME = sys.argv[1]
api = API(url=URL, username=USERNAME, password=PASSWORD, ca_file=CA_FILE)
try:
if api.vms.get(VM_NAME).status.state != 'up':
print 'Starting VM'
api.vms.get(VM_NAME).start()
print 'Waiting for VM to reach UP status'
while api.vms.get(VM_NAME).status.state != 'up':
sleep(1)
sys,exit(1)
else:
print 'VM already up'
sys.exit(0)
except Exception as e:
print 'Failed to Start VM:\n%s' % str(e)

Can this be done? We hit a road block with gluster and will be using
local storage while testing gluster. Only problem, if a host reboots,
the vm's on that host do not. Is there a way to have ovirt/libvirt
start all vm's residing on the local storage?
