Is there a way in virt-manager / libvirtd (or hand edit some file) to specify the boot order of the VMs that are configured as "Start at boot time"
My setup is as follows: Host OS: Debian Wheezy amd64 stock kernel (3.2), virt-manager v0.9.1 Guest VMs: A bunch of Linux based servers - CentOS 6, Debian 6/7, Ubuntu 12.04 (all amd64 with stock kernel). All of them defined using virt-manager GUI interface. Among the VMs one is a DB server and a few app servers that connect to the DB server. Similar to the init script naming convention in /etc/rc?.d (S00, S99 etc.), I have named the VMs like 00-<VM_name>, 01-<VM_name> etc. The DB server name starting with a 00 prefix and the app servers with a 99 prefix, with the expectation that the DB server will boot first and be ready for connection requests coming from the app servers when they boot up. Additionally, in the app servers I have added up to 45 sec time out in grub. When the host system boots up, I find the applications (in the app server) complaining about their respective connections to the backend database (to the DB server). I have to restart the db connections manually and then the applications come up fine. I have searched but found things related to VMWare but not for virt-manager Any pointers / suggestions much appreciated.
