Does anybody know how to set up KVM on a headless, unattended server to run a virtual machine automatically on boot? I've only ever used it on my desktop with pointy-clicky tools like virt-manager. Even still, I usually use VirtualBox for virtual machines on my desktop.

So you can still use virt-manager if using 5.4 and up and have it has a setting to autostart when the physical machine boots, virt-manager works fine as long as your vm's are fairly straight forward, I have several running this way. To make it headless I would just load freenx and then you can get into the box and do whatever you need to do, plus I load freenx in all of my vm's so I have access to them, although you can do most everything with KVM from the command prompt if needed with virsh...
