Thanks Alex, That did the trick. Now I am curious: how is libvirtd started at all? I have Ubuntu 10.10, and I have noticed the presence of a symbolic link: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2011-05-26 09:45 /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin -> /lib/init/upstart-job But this script is not used in any of the runlevels. Who is starting libvirtd? Thanks, Daniel Gonzalez On Thu, Mar 1, 2012 at 4:21 PM, Alex Jia <ajia@redhat.com> wrote:

Hi Daniel, The following autostart should be okay for you:

# virsh help autostart NAME autostart - autostart a domain

SYNOPSIS autostart <domain> [--disable]

DESCRIPTION Configure a domain to be automatically started at boot.

Hello,

I am managing several virtual machines (a predefined set) with virsh, and I would like to make sure that all VMs are booted when the host reboots.

What is the recommended approach for this?

Thanks, Daniel Gonzalez

Hi All , We can set autostart parameter to start the guest automatically when virtual host start . On Tue, Mar 6, 2012 at 9:25 AM, Alex Jia <ajia@redhat.com> wrote:

Hi Daniel, You may see /etc/init.d/libvirtd carefully, libvirt is default started on runlevel 3, 4, 5 (# Default-Start: 3 4 5):

# chkconfig libvirtd --list libvirtd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

It may be different for libvirtd location from you, because I'm using a RHEL OS.

Good Luck! Alex
