Hi,
I have a host with 6 VMs set to autostart. When this host reboots, it starts libvirtd, pegasus cimom and libvirt-cim. It also restarts the VMs. Intermittently we noticed a core during start up that points to the last call made by libvirt-cim to "virInitialize". I am thinking that it is a timing issue where virInitialize is called while libvirt is trying to autostart the VMs.
Libvirt should not crash as is, but restarting the 6 domains may take quite some time and it's done synchronously at startup, libvirt daemon will start processing requests only once done. The problem is that tog-pegasus may start in the meantime, libvirt-cim virInitialize() run ... and fails to connect. You may have a crash there, make sure how it behaves if there is a failure to connect on startup (apparently it may take multiple attempts).
