In VMware we could setup guests to autostart when the host started and
define the order. Is that doable in oVirt? The only thing I've seen
is the watchdog and tell it to reset but nothing that allows me to
define who starts up when and if they autostart. I assume it's there
but I must be missing it or haven't found it in the web portal.
Thanks.

In oVirt guests aren't tied to a host by default (although you can set
them to run only on a specific host if you want). The closest thing I
can think of would be the High Availability features (VM->Edit).
oVirt will try to restart highly available VMs if they go down. You
can also set the priority for migration and restart in that pane.
Hopefully a combination of host pinning and the high availability
settings will get you close enough to where you want to be.
Otherwise, you could always do some scripting with the ovirt REST API
using the SDK or CLI.

If you had the VMware migration extra add-on you could have hosts move
as needed so they were not tied to any host either but we could set a
startup order and specify auto, manual so that once the host started
the VMs were brought up as specified no matter what host they were
running on.
I am running hosted-engine deployment with the Engine VM on the host.
I set highly available on, did not pin to any host, and also set the
watchdog which should reset if they go down but I'm not sure that will
start them if the host comes up and the VMs are not running. I'll look
at the CLI first.
It would be nice if oVirt added this feature as it's really required
for large installations and is a help for any size installation, even
small ones.

Maybe there is a another way. It involves ovirt-shell and/or a sdk
script. The idea is the create a custom property and set that to for
example, y:01 or n:02 and yes that to read that back if the host comes
up and start the vms if they have 'y' and use the number for ordering.
If reading back the properties is a problem you might be able to 'use'
the tagging feature todo something similar.
You can always create a RFE on the ovirt bugtracker.

Hi,
I set highly available on, did not pin to any host, and also set the
watchdog which should reset if they go down but I'm not sure that will start
them if the host comes up and the VMs are not running. I'll look at the CLI
first.
The engine will try to keep the VM running. So if one host goes down,
it will restart the VM on some other host automatically. We will also
migrate the VM (or some other to free resources) when the current host
gets too loaded. We do not require any migration addons, it just
works. But of course we have usually more hosts in a cluster to make
this possible.
I do not really remember what happens when all hosts are restarted
(power outage) though as that is quite special case.

Thanks. I only have one host so who knows what will happen. I'm

Why do you care about the order?
Isn't it enough to restart all the vms after a host was restarted?

Actually this is used pretty regularly in VMware environments. For
instance I've seen MSSQL systems running under AD credentials so they can
access UNC shares. If the AD domain controllers aren't up prior to the
database server starting up the MSSQL service won't start because it can't
authenticate the user on the service.

That was exactly what I
had in one of my jobs where I had an AD domain
for a University and we had several MSSQL servers that needed the AD
credentials. Plus I had an IBM FileNet ECM system with several servers
that had to be started in the correct order. With AD you need to have
the domain controllers up and running or nothing works. Our Linux
systems alsso had some that depended on others. If they weren't
started in the correct order they had to be restarted again. And it's
not really a VMware specific need but any environment whether it's
physical or virtual needs as startup sequence. Before we virtualized
we had a written procedure on what servers came up and in what order
(and the reverse for a shutdown of the site). When moving to
virtualization the virtualization system replaces people flipping
switches with it's startup/shutdown order or it should.

In VMware we could setup guests to autostart when the host started
and
define the order. Is that doable in oVirt? The only thing I've seen
is the watchdog and tell it to reset but nothing that allows me to
define who starts up when and if they autostart. I assume it's there
but I must be missing it or haven't found it in the web portal.
See this long standing bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3D1166657
also searching this ML for "autostart" and "VM"
turns up this same discussion every few months.
sadly no dev seems to grasp the importance of this feature, so it's
always rationalsed that it's not needed or the HA feature is enough (it
isn't).
I don't know why the already implemented libvirt autostart feature
does not get simply passed through.
This feature was at least requested by 4 or 5 different people, to no ava=
il.
you might CC yourself to the bugreport(RFE) and vote on it, maybe
this way it will get some traction.
kind regards
Sven
