Thank you for your reply.
I have 2 vms ,vm-01 and vm-02 which set to be autostart both.
further more, I want vm-02 start 10sec later than vm-01.
Compared with VMware ESX which has a function that can delay several times
after the vm run into bios,
Does libvirt also have some fuction like this or should I write a shell
script to controll the start pace of the vms ?

Is there a qemu option that affects this? I'm not aware of one, off the
top of my head, which means that libvirt does not expose one directly.
If there _is_ such a qemu option, then you can access it via
<qemu:commandline> xml while waiting for libvirt to implement official
xml to support this feature.
Taking a step back, I'm not even sure what you are trying to accomplish
with a delay. Perhaps it is sufficient if you use virDomainStartFlags
with VIR_DOMAIN_START_PAUSED (or virsh start --paused) to request that a
guest be created without running it, then at your choice of delay,
resume the guest? But that's not a BIOS delay.
