[Users] Auto-start vms on boot?

It would seem that oVirt does not provide an standard way of forcing boot of virtual machines at boot.

Pools can have pre-started vms as stated here: https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.1/html/Administration_Guide/Prestarting_Virtual_Machines_in_a_Pool.html but pools imply state-less virtual machines and I am talking more about normal virtual machines.

I've found this script:

https://github.com/iranzo/rhevm-utils/blob/master/rhev-vm-start.py

which could do to the trick if run at host boot.

I've also thought (but not tried) to mark a virtual machine as "Highly Available" even if I have only one host (I mean, usually HA only makes sense when you have two hosts).

Marking a VM as H.A. would do the trick?
Any special reason why there isn't and standard way of marking which vms should be auto-started at boot?

Just wanted to hear your thoughts before filling an RFE.


Thank you.
