[Xen-users] How to auto start DomU after reboot of Dom0?

[Carlos Ribas <carlos@xxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

    I followed some tutorials to install Xen in a Debian Squeeze server. One of them [1] says to set up XENDOMAINS_RESTORE to false, because I can have problems with that. So, if my server shuts down or reboots how can I configure my VM to automatically start?

    Yesterday I did a quick script [2] that worked well, but I am not sure if it is the best way to do it. I would like to know what you do solve this issue.

[1] - http://wiki.debian.org/Xen#Other_configuration_tweaks

[2] - Script:

#!/bin/bash

# Start all the VMs from here

VMS="/etc/xen/*.cfg"

for vm in $VMS

do

  if [ -e "$vm" ]                      # Check if file exist

  then

    data="" '+%d/%m/%Y - %H:%M:%S'` # Current date/time (log purposes)

    echo "starting at: $data"

    /usr/sbin/xm create $vm            # Create VM

    sleep 15                           # Wait 15 sec to start the next

    echo

    continue                           # Next VM

  fi

  echo "Nothing to be done..."

done

exit 0

Regards,
