<br>The xendomains init script which is responsible for starting domains at<br>boot time is pretty simplisitic. It simply does a wildcard on the files in<br>/etc/xen/auto/* or saved VMs in /var/lib/xen/save/* so domains will get
<br>started in alphabetical order based on their name. You shouldn't rely on<br>this behaviour though, because the way domains are autostarted has changed<br>in Xen 3.0.4 which will be in Fedora 7 and I can't guarentee the startup
<br>ordering will be the same<br><br>So if you want to ensure domains start ina particular order, I'd not use<br>the xendomains script at all. Instead just put a bunch of 'xm create'<br>statements in /etc/rc.d/rc.local to follow your desired ordering exactly.
</blockquote><div><br>Alright then we must go for /etc/rc.d/rc.local approach, however I wonders why xen uses the alphabetic approach when starts domains its kinda weird :)<br><br>Thanks.
