virsh, how to list autostart domains?

Question

In virsh how do I see which domains are marked as autostart? virsh list does not show which domains are marked as autostart.

Answer 1

From the man page:-

virsh list --autostart

should do it.

Answer 2

I realize this is a very old thread - on my RHEL6.5 system, this works, with the usual caveat that if you don't say --all, virsh list will only list info for running domains.

So try

virsh list --all --autostart

and/or

virsh list --all --no-autostart

Works for me.

Answer 3

Here is a universal script for getting autostart information. To list domains (VMs) that have autostart enable put in virsh_autostart_info.sh and run: virsh_autostart_info.sh | grep -i enabled. You could of course clear it up to just display names or whatever you want.

##
# Configuration
#
VIRSH=/usr/bin/virsh

##
# Simple list of domains (VMs)
#
list_domains() {
    # list, skipping headers, capturing number and domName, and then strip Id and State column
    $VIRSH list --all | awk '$1 == "-" || $1+0 > 0 { print $2 }'
}

##
# Processing
#

## full info
#echo ""
#list_domains | while read vmName; do
#    $VIRSH dominfo $vmName
#done

# just autostart info
echo ""
list_domains | while read vmName; do
    autostartStatus=`$VIRSH dominfo $vmName | grep -i autostart`
    echo $vmName $autostartStatus
done
