In current versions of cloudstack, all instances using local storage on that host will need to be manually started after the reboot. There should be a functionality to mark VMs to be auto started when the host is live again.\r\n\r\nThis is particularly useful when a compute instance is using local storage (SSDs) for system disk, but NFS etc. for data storage, or when not using networked attached storage but local storage only configurations.\r\n\r\nThis is functionality similar to what is requested in #8687 \r\n\r\n##### STEPS TO REPRODUCE\r\n\u003c!--\r\nFor bugs, show exactly how to reproduce the problem, using a minimal test-case. Use Screenshots if accurate.\r\n\r\nFor new features, show how the feature would be used.\r\n--\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- Paste example playbooks or commands between quotes below --\u003e\r\n~~~\r\nExample of possible implementation:\r\n- UI and API option for compute instance to auto boot on host startup (enable/disable feature per compute instance).\r\n- Mgmt server to issue startup of compute instances when Host is ready.\r\n~~~\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- You can also paste gist.github.com links for larger files --\u003e\r\n\r\n##### EXPECTED RESULTS\r\n\u003c!-- What did you expect to happen when running the steps above? --\u003e\r\n\r\n~~~\r\nCompute instances with local storage should be able able to auto start (if configured) when a host is live again after reboot.\r\n~~~\r\n\r\n##### ACTUAL RESULTS\r\n\u003c!-- What actually happened? --\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- Paste verbatim command output between quotes below --\u003e\r\n~~~\r\nCurrently all local storage compute instances needs to be manually started after host reboot.\r\n~~~\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/kimselius","@type":"Person","name":"kimselius"},"datePublished":"2024-04-02T10:54:56.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":5},"url":"https://github.com/8869/cloudstack/issues/8869"}
