AutoStart VM with Xen

I've been evaluating Xen, VirtualBox, and VMware as part of work. We require a system to autoboot virtual machines as a feature of the virtualization technology we choose. I just found how to autoboot using Xen and thought it worthy of a quick post.



# mkdir /etc/xen/auto
# ln -s /etc/xen/mymachine.cfg /etc/xen/auto/


You can test this by restarting the xendomain service as follows:

# /etc/init.d/xendomains stop
