Re: [ovirt-users] Autostart vm's at host boot on local storage
I don't think there is a way to do this via GUI. You can create a script to do this in boot via ovirt-cli or API.

Brent, You can achieve that using oVirt High Availability [1], Also see WatchDog [2] (if you want your guests to bemonitored on the OS level for responsiveness).

Re: [ovirt-users] Autostart vm's at host boot on local storage
There was a discussion on this list a year or so ago about this. I
believe one of the developers responded that oVirt has no facility to
start VMs on a boot, and explained why
I use the following 2 scripts to start VMs automatically when my AIO
host reboots for whatever reason. The Python script was grabbed from
somewhere on the net, I don't remember where anymore.
I run the first script out of cron every 15 minutes.
#!/bin/bash
VMSTART=vm1 vm2 vm
for vm in ${VMSTART}
do
echo Do I need to start ${vm}
/root/bin/vm_up ${vm}
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
TEXT=VM ${vm} needed starting
echo ${TEXT}
echo ${TEXT} | mailx -s ${TEXT} r...@domain.com
fi
done
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys, string
from time import sleep
from ovirtsdk.api import API
from ovirtsdk.xml import params
VERSION = params.Version(major='3', minor='0')
URL = 'https://host.domain/api'
USERNAME = 'admin@internal'
PASSWORD = 'passwd'
CA_FILE = '/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem'
VM_NAME = sys.argv[1]
api = API(url=URL, username=USERNAME, password=PASSWORD, ca_file=CA_FILE)
try:
if api.vms.get(VM_NAME).status.state != 'up':
print 'Starting VM'
api.vms.get(VM_NAME).start()
print 'Waiting for VM to reach UP status'
while api.vms.get(VM_NAME).status.state != 'up':
sleep(1)
sys,exit(1)
else:
print 'VM already up'
sys.exit(0)
except Exception as e:
print 'Failed to Start VM:\n%s' % str(e)
