Gang, I run several KVM host machines. Due to updates, maintenance, and unexpected reboots sometime host machines are restarted. I can easily envision a scenario where HostX needs some critical packages updated or is acting up. I migrate guest0, guest1, guest2 etc. from HostX to HostY. Then, in either a planned (i.e. scheduled maintenance) or unplanned (i.e. unplanned reboot) event reboots HostX. Unfortunately guest0, guest1 and guest2 are all set to autostart on HostX but they're currently running on HostY when HostX boots.... etc etc etc Is anyone using effective packages, scripts or techniques which help maintain that all guest are running once and only once across a cluster of KVM hosts? I have been using virt-manager but it's not automated so much... Thanks for your feedback, Chris
