Quick intro since this is my first post to the list: My name is Michael Ansel, and I am third year Electrical and Computer Engineering / Computer Science double major at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. I've done a little bit of work off and on over the past several years with virtualization on Linux, and my project/self-inflicted torture for the summer is to put together a stable, object-oriented wrapper for the libvirt ruby bindings so that VM management is extremely easy from within ruby (though... I haven't quite gotten that idea off the ground). Anyways, enough about me and onto the issue at hand: How hard would something like this (staggered boot order) be to add/integrate with an optional, external config file (or as a [true|false|1|2|3|..]. style directive in the main XML)? I'd be interested in putting something together if it is a feasible addition and someone can point me to the general area of the code that needs to be changed. Also, is there an indicator in libvirt for when a domain has finished booting, or would this boot staggering need to be time based? Thanks!

Is there a way that you can set the guests startup order and stagger their startup at boot?
Hum, no. We only have the autostart flag on the domain but nothing about ordering of starts on a wider basis.
