Auto Power On VMs when reboot host
-
Hi there. I maybe doing something wrong but within XOCE I have selected the option Auto Power On on all my VMs but when I reboot my host they don't power. Please can anyone help.

@marcusrushy I had the same issue with a fresh install of XCP-ng 7.6 but had not the time to investigate... can you share more details?
my details:
- XCP-ng 7.6 (fresh install, latest updates)
- maybe the partition layout is wrong (https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/149), it's a brand new server but the vendor ran some diagnostic/burn in tools
- I did set autoboot via XCP-ng Center
- Bonus: the host stops at the grub menu, does not count to zero (may a stuck key? - need to look into that)
- XCP-ng 7.6 (fresh install, latest updates)
-
Mine is a fresh install of XCP-ng 7.6
Set auto start in XOCE and XCP-ng Center -
Got it working using this guide
-
Now in our wiki: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/wiki/VM-Auto-Power-On
Tested it myself - works! -
Nice one
-
All those steps are automatically done in XO (when you set up auto power on in XO, it's also set up directly in the pool).
So in fact it's only 1 step for XO

@olivierlambert you are free to correct the wiki
-
It didn’t seem to work for me but I was only selecting auto start on the vms and did nothing with the pool
-
IIRC, we based the button in XO to do both modification at the same time when you set it up for a VM (in the pool if it's not enabled and in the VM).
However, it's been a while I didn't check the code, I'll take a look to be sure
