How to enable autostart feature on xenserver virtual machine
XenServer is one of virtualisation software that is used worldwide. Unfortunately, on my XenServer version (6.x) the autostart feature was removed from XenCenter GUI. Therefore we need to configure it from CLI:
- execute “xe pool-list” to display uuid (RO)
uuid (RO) : blablabla -> copy this number - execute “xe pool-param-set uuid=blablabla other-config:auto_poweron=true” to turn on the autostart
- execute “xe vm-list” to display the UUID of VM. example:
uuid (RO) : blablabla -> copy this number
name-label ( RW): testing-server
power-state ( RO): running - execute “xe vm-param-set uuid=blablabla other-config:auto_poweron=true” to turn on autostart of the VM
that’s all
