Craig, Try this: mkdir -p /etc/libvirt/libxl/autostart cd /etc/libvirt/libxl/autostart ln -s /etc/libvirt/libxl/[name-of-vm].xml I just verified that worked for me... Here is my setup: [root at host-1 ~]# ls -latr /etc/libvirt/libxl total 24 drwx------. 6 root root 4096 Jun 26 15:31 .. -rw------- 1 root root 1279 Jul 19 12:36 pulp.xml -rw------- 1 root root 1279 Aug 1 12:38 solr.xml -rw------- 1 root root 1300 Aug 4 13:01 workstation.xml -rw------- 1 root root 1306 Aug 8 12:48 atomic-master.xml -rw------- 1 root root 1271 Aug 8 12:48 db.xml drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 111 Aug 16 12:12 . drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 28 Aug 16 12:12 autostart [root at host-1 ~]# [root at host-1 ~]# ls -latr /etc/libvirt/libxl/autostart/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 111 Aug 16 12:12 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Aug 16 12:12 workstation.xml -> /etc/libvirt/libxl/workstation.xml drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 28 Aug 16 12:12 . Hope that helps!
