[ovirt-users] Autostart VMS

[Pavel Gashev]

I'd like to see the autostart feature as well. In my case I need to autostart a virtual router VM at remote site. The issue is that oVirt can't see the remote host until the virtual router is started on this host. So HA is not an option.

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=1166657

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 avail.

you might CC yourself to the bugreport(RFE) and vote on it, maybe
this way it will get some traction.

kind regards

Sven
