I'm afraid there is nothing builtin atm, so you must script your own stuff.
I'm working on it. I've got all the infrastructure in place to do that. Just need one more thing -- the ability to test when the engine is actually operational.
For future reference, here's what I did. First, I set up a user and permissions in ovirt UI. The user has Login and RUN_VM permissions. Then I configured .ovirtshellrc with the user credentials (including password). Then I created the following scripts (obviously you can set the VM names and the wait-time between startup to your own settings). Hopefully these scripts will help the next person who needs to solve this problem. -derek cat > /etc/sysconfig/vm_list <<EOF # List of VMs. Key = VM Name. Value = seconds to wait after starting declare -A vm_list=( [vm-1]=60 [vm-2]=60 ) EOF cat > /usr/local/sbin/start_vms.sh <<EOF #!/bin/bash [ -f /etc/sysconfig/vm_list ] || exit 0 . /etc/sysconfig/vm_list # Wait for the engine to respond while [ `ovirt-shell -I -c -F -E ping 2>/dev/null | grep -c success` != 1 ] do echo "Not ready... Sleeping..." sleep 60 done # Now start all of the VMs in the requested order. for vm in "${!vm_list[@]}" do ovirt-shell -I -c -F -E "action vm $vm start" sleep ${vm_list[$vm]} done EOF chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/start_vms.sh cat >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local <<EOF # Start the list of defined virtual machines /usr/local/sbin/start_vms.sh & EOF chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 derek@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant
