Hi all,

Finally, I have migrated my rhel/centos guests from vmware to kvm server using virtio drivers without problems. But I need to startup these guests using certain order and assign boot delays. How can I do this?? Does kvm provides some type of tool to do it?? Or do I need to create virsh scripts to do it??

I have tried autostart option from libvirt but starts all guests at the same time.

Thanks.

Nothing??

Thanks for the link Benjamin, but I only see how to configure boot order for drives, nics, etc and not for vm guests and configure delay boot for guests, which is all I need ...

You could start your VMs manualy via the kvm command line. This will give you more control, including the start-up order (I imagine you could use `sleep` in a init script).
