Bug Description

The start_guests_on_host_boot config option ignores any/all user-requested VM state and attempts to start every VM assigned to the hypervisor in question. This means even a VM which was suspended, paused, in error state, etc will run through the process of attempting to start. resume_guests_state_on_host_boot provides similar functionality, except that it confirms the VM was previously in a running state prior to attempting to restart on compute startup.

I can't think of a single valid use case for this behavior. This bug mainly serves as a tracking mechanism for removing the start_guests_on_host_boot configuration option outright.

    Remove start_guests_on_host_boot config option

    Fixes bug 1081808

    The start_guests_on_host_boot config option ignores any/all
    user-requested VM state and attempts to start every VM assigned to the
    hypervisor in question. This means even a VM which was suspended,
    paused, in error state, etc will run through the process of attempting
    to start. resume_guests_state_on_host_boot provides similar
    functionality, except that it confirms the VM was previously in a
    running state prior to attempting to restart on compute startup.

    This patch will remove the config option entirely.
