6.7.2 Disabling Guest Automatic Start

You can disable a guest from automatically starting when the KVM host is started.

  1. Connect to the KVM host.
  2. Use vm_maker to disable autostart for the guest.

    In the following example, db01_guest01.example.com is the name of the guest. 

    # /opt/exadata_ovm/vm_maker --autostart db01_guest01.example.com --disable
[INFO] Running 'virsh autostart db01_guest01.example.com --disable'...
Domain db01_guest01.example.com unmarked as autostarted
