boot the domU one by one when server starts

[Jingyun He]

Hello,
Is it possible to set the xen to boot the domU one by one when server starts,
as currently we have 20 domU, and if boot them together, the the hard
disk will be very very slow.

Thanks.

Hi,

Are you currently using symlinks in /etc/xen/auto which point to guest config files in /etc/xen?

Maybe you could write a system V init script or a custom script in /etc/rc.local which allows staggered creation of guests. Use some sort of delay.

Hi,

cd /etc/xen/config/........ && for i in *
do
...... (start VM, .....)......
sleep 60 (or whatever time you think is right to start a VM)
done
