So xen1 went down today and I was helping bring things back up. I didn't know to look in /var/log/messages for the messages from xenGuestsRunning.sh. I was wondering this:
would it make sense to have xenGuestsRunning run every hour and re-make the symlinks in /etc/xen/auto for the guests which should be running on the machine? Also - if for some reason the xen guests can't be started up automatically due to other complexities (iscsi, memory over commit, etc) we could have xenGuestsrunning auto-generate a script which can be run to re-make the xen guests which should be running.
I'd be willing to put the script together, I just wanted to ask if there was a good reason NOT to do this, so I don't waste time if I've missed something.
thanks, -sv
