How to auto start VMs after a crash?
Hello, After a (simulated) server crash of a all-in-one 4.3 with local storage I noticed that no VMs are started back. Is there any option similar to Openstack's start_guests_on_host_boot that I am missing? The closest thing I found is this script: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Auto-start+all+VMs+on+a+host+using+local+storage+after+reboot Is there anything in ACS itself that can provide this functionality? What bothers me most is how do I determine which VMs were running before the crash and which were not? Some customers may have stopped VMs to reduce cost or for some technical reason. Any thoughts?

Perhaps I'm not fully awake yet and in need of some java, but is this not achieved with the HA option inside the Service Offering? Once the host and components return the VM's return to their last known state?

Yes, that would work, but only in certain scenarios, i.e. HA and shared storage AFAIK. # In my case I'm just running with local storage; after a HV reboot all the VMs remain stopped.
