8.5. Automatically Starting Guest Virtual Machines

This section covers how to make guest virtual machines start automatically during the host physical machine system's boot phase.

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

virsh autostart TestServer

# virsh autostart TestServer
Domain TestServer marked as autostarted

Copy to Clipboard

Toggle word wrap

The guest virtual machine now automatically starts with the host physical machine.

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

virsh autostart --disable TestServer

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

Copy to Clipboard

Toggle word wrap

The guest virtual machine no longer automatically starts with the host physical machine.
