5.7.1 Enabling User Domain Automatic Start

The following procedure describes how to enable a user domain to start automatically when the management domain is started:

  1. Connect to the management domain.
  2. Locate the user domain configuration file under /OVS/Repositories.

    Investigate the files under /OVS/Repositories to determine the file belonging to the domain that you are acting on. The user domain configuration file is located at /OVS/Repositories/UUID/vm.cfg, where UUID is the unique domain identifier.

  3. Create a symbolic link to the user domain configuration file in the /etc/xen/auto directory using the following command:
    # ln -s /OVS/Repositories/UUID/vm.cfg /etc/xen/auto/DomainName.cfg

    In the preceding command, UUID is the unique domain identifier and DomainName is the fully qualified name of the domain that you are acting on.

    For example:

    # ln -s /OVS/Repositories/fa8f413f8f544dce8b065a814a0c491c/vm.cfg /etc/xen/auto/dbm01adm05vm01.example.com.cfg
