Autostart instances after reboot

[Arturo Haro]

I would like to autostart my Microstack instances after a power cut or reboot. I've seen the following variable, but this is Openstack documentation:

resume_guests_state_on_host_boot=true

I don't know whether it would work. Is there any option to do it in Microstack?

Thank you.

Hi Arturo,

It's possible to do this today without a microstack config option. To do this, you can add addition config options to /var/snap/microstack/common/etc/nova/nova.conf.d/nova.conf.

For example, you can add:
[DEFAULT]
resume_guests_state_on_host_boot = True

Then restart nova-compute:
sudo snap restart microstack.nova-compute

And you should be all set.

I'll triage this bug as a wishlist item where we can consider adding a new microstack config to enable resuming of guest state on host boot.

Thanks,
Corey
