33.1. Automatically starting guests

This section covers how to make guests start automatically during the host system's boot phase.

This example uses virsh to set a guest, TestServer, to automatically start when the host boots.

# virsh autostart TestServer
Domain TestServer marked as autostarted

The guest now automatically starts with the host.

To stop a guest automatically booting use the --disable parameter

# virsh autostart --disable TestServer
Domain TestServer unmarked as autostarted

The guest no longer automatically starts with the host.
