[[qm_startup_and_shutdown]]
Automatic Start and Shutdown of Virtual Machines
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After creating your VMs, you probably want them to start automatically
when the host system boots. For this you need to select the option 'Start at
boot' from the 'Options' Tab of your VM in the web interface, or set it with
the following command:
qm set <vmid> -onboot 1
In some case you want to be able to fine tune the boot order of your VMs, for
instance if one of your VM is providing firewalling or DHCP to other guest
systems.
For this you can use the following parameters:
* *Start/Shutdown order*: Defines the start order priority. E.g. set it to 1 if
you want the VM to be the first to be started. (We use the reverse startup
order for shutdown, so a machine with a start order of 1 would be the last to
be shut down)
* *Startup delay*: Defines the interval between this VM start and subsequent
VMs starts . E.g. set it to 240 if you want to wait 240 seconds before starting
other VMs.
* *Shutdown timeout*: Defines the duration in seconds {pve} should wait
for the VM to be offline after issuing a shutdown command.
By default this value is set to 60, which means that {pve} will issue a
shutdown request, wait 60s for the machine to be offline, and if after 60s
the machine is still online will notify that the shutdown action failed.
Please note that machines without a Start/Shutdown order parameter will always
start after those where the parameter is set, and this parameter only
makes sense between the machines running locally on a host, and not
cluster-wide.
