Hi, I manage my KVM machines via libvirt and wonder if there are any init.d scripts for automatically starting up and shutting down virtual machines during boot/shutdown of the host?
Writing this for myself seems to be not that simple, as when shutting down, the system has somehow to wait until all machines are halted (not responding guests have to be destroyed etc.), and I don't really know how to accomplish this.
My host system is Debian Lenny, is there anything available? Perhaps libvirt offers something I'm unaware of?
I think it does. Copying the libvirt mailing list.
There's a script
/usr/share/doc/libvirt-bin/examples/libvirt-suspendonreboot
in Debian but I think Laurent is currently working on switching this to the upstream libvirt-guest script which will then be installed by default.
First of all - thanks a lot for your help! Suspending the guest is even better than stopping it. But I think that the simple "autostart" in virsh will suffice for my situation for now, and I'll wait until this makes it way into upstream. Thanks!
