Setting the XenServer to allow Auto-Start

Gather the UUID's of the pools you wish to auto-start.

To get the list of the pools on your XenServer, run:

xe pool-list

Copy the UUID of the pool. If you have just one server, it will still have a pool UUID.

Type the following command to set the pool or server to allow auto-start:

xe pool-param-set uuid=UUID other-config:auto_poweron=true

Note: Replacing UUID with the UUID of the XenServer or pool.

Setting the Virtual Machines to Auto-Start

Gather the UUIDs of the Virtual Machine you want to auto-start by running:

xe vm-list

Note: This generates a list of Virtual Machines in your pool or server and their associated UUIDs.

Copy the UUID of the Virtual Machines you want to auto-start, and run the following command for each Virtual Machine to auto-start:

xe vm-param-set uuid=UUID other-config:auto_poweron=true

Note: Replace UUID with the UUID of the Virtual Machine to auto-start.
