This article describes how to configure VMs on XenServer to be powered on automatically after XenServer boot up.

Note: This capability is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

---

Instructions

Set the "other-config:auto_poweron=true" parameter on both target VM and resource pool：

• #xe pool-param-set uuid=<pool_UUID> other-config:auto_poweron=true
• #xe vm-param-set uuid=<vm_UUID> other-config:auto_poweron=true

Note: The XenServer must be restarted through XenCenter. If you reboot XenServer through typing "reboot" within dom0 console, those parameters will not work.
