If you set the offering to allow HA and create the instances as HA
instances, they will autostart once the management server figures out
they're really dead (either because it used STONITH to kill the
unreachable node, or because that node became reachable again). When I
had to reboot my cluster due to a massive network failure (critical 10
gigabit switch croaked, had to slide a new one in), all the instances
marked "HA" came back up all by themselves without me having to do
anything about it.

Thanks, Dag,
Looks like scripting it is the way to go.

Hi Asai,
In short – no that is not a use case CloudStack is designed for, the VM states
are controlled by CloudStack management. You should however look at using HA
service offerings and host HA (if you meet all the pre-requisites). Between
these mechanisms VMs can be brought up on other hosts if a host goes down.
Alternatively if you are looking to trigger an automated startup of VMs I
suggest you simply script this with e.g. cloudmonkey. Keep in mind this still
requires a healthy management server though.

Thanks, Dag,
On boot of the server, I would like the VMs to start up automatically,
rather than me having to go to the management console and start them manually.
We suffered some downtime and in restarting the hardware, I had to manually get
everything back up and running.

Hi Asai,
Can you explain a bit more what you are trying to achieve? Everything in
CloudStack is controlled by the management server, not the KVM host, and in
general the assumption is a KVM host is always online.

Greetings,
Can anyone offer advice on how to autostart VMs at boot time using KVM?
There doesn’t seem to be any documentation for this in the CS docs. We’re on
CS 4.9.2.0.
I tried doing it with virsh autostart, but it just throws an error.
Thank you,
