How to Setup XenServer 6.x to Turn Off Auto-Start For Virtual Machines


Setting the Virtual Machines to stop Auto-Start

Gather the UUIDs of the Virtual Machine you want to turn off 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 turn off auto-start, and run the following command for each Virtual Machine to turn off auto-start:

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

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