Okay, so is there some way to tell ovirt to auto-start VMs?  I thought the
way to do that was marking them HA.  If that's NOT the case, then other
than manually writing a script using ovirt-shell to start the VMs when
e.g. the engine starts....  Is there some way to tell ovirt to start a VM
automatically when the system starts?  (e.g. after a power failure)?

Thanks,
